OEM Toyota › Brake discs

Braking:

I’ve bought at least 6 cars for family/friends using Cinch and have found them to go above any other standard I’ve come across in 40 yrs in the motor trade. A few yrs back bought my mum a 3 yr old Aygo with 9,000 miles on the clock and it was delivered with new front discs and pads fitted. I queried this with the delivery driver as I wouldn’t have expected them to need replacing at such low mileage. His reply was “yeh, If there’s Any sign of rust on any brake disc then we’ve been told to replace whatever is needed”

Pros: new discs and pads fitted

Vehicle: Toyota Aygo

Mileage: 9000 km

I have an 18 340 ix with the msport track package. swapped mine out with Brembo blank rotors and Akebono euroceramic pads at 40k ( wasn’t necessary) but the OEM plus upgrade is worth it. The calipers on the Msport are a fantastic brembo but they use cheaper Zimmerman rotors.

Pros: OEM plus upgrade worthwhile

Cons: cheaper Zimmerman rotors

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 40000 km

Absolutely normal. But I would still get one which is coated. My R1 Concepts from Rock Auto were completely black with a Zinc coating

Pros: Zinc coating, completely black

Vibration:

I did the 13WE upgrade (slightly smaller) because I did not want to mess with needing to use spacers or cutting up the OEM double 3 spoke wheels. Braking performance is significantly better, no more vibrations going down long hills. No problems with pedal feel either.

Pros: significantly better braking

Vehicle: Toyota 4runner

In the game they don’t do anything other than styling your whip I always put drilled & slotted rotors & brembo’s looks great you can color match em

Pros: looks great, color match

Zimmerman makes solid rotors and Akebono pads are awesome, plus they last forever. I think the only thing you could improve on is a bit of extra stopping power if you went back to the oem pad material, which is likely not ceramic like the Akebonos. However, you'll lose those clean wheels and the pads will likely wear out much faster. I never felt that they lacked adequate stopping power anyway. Brake feel is much more linear compared to the super grabby stock pads, and I actually prefer it now that I'm used to it.

Pros: solid rotors

I have applied Dynamic friction rotors and no OEM pads on my giulia at 29K miles, I am closing on 33 K and no issue what so ever (except for the ceramic pad dusts in the wheels). I would recommend not wasting your money on Alfa oem rotors or pads. They are ridiculously overpriced and if they were so good, you won’t be replacing them at 30 K. Rotos usually lasts well above 50K miles.

Pros: no issues, long lifespan

Cons: ceramic dust

Mileage: 33000 km

Centric makes ones that are painted black. I clean them up with brake cleaner and tape off the pad contact area, then use engine enamel spray paint to add an additional coat. I’m up in New England and one winter will do this to rotors. I do the same when I have to replace calipers. Lasts at least 3-4 years In my experience

Pros: lasts 3-4 years, easy to repaint

Cons: rusts in winter
