For the front and rear I got Akebono ProACTs and Brembo rotors for the rear and both are wayyy better than stock in all ways. Quieter, they haven't warped, very low dust after break in compared to OEM, and they have lasted me at least 2x as long.
Pros: quiet, long lasting, low dust
Vehicle:
Mazda 3

Pros: they are great
Vehicle:

They feel amazing and the braking power is noticeably increased but they create an incredible amount of corrosive dust and make a really terrible high pitched noise on occasion under light braking.
Pros: amazing feel, increased power
Cons: corrosive dust, high pitched noise
This happened to my Gen2. I gave it to some guy to change pads and these lights came out after. I think he didn't do it properly and air entered into the line. I then took it to a local Toyota dealership where they fixed it. (I don't recall what they did exactly, maybe flush and replaced the break fluid). I was fearing it was the actuator, which as other have posted, is very expensive on this Prius. I had to drive very slow and careful, because I had no power in the brakes, so they were hard and slow. No ABS. No regen either.
Pros: fixed by dealership
Cons: no brake power, hard brakes
Vehicle:
Toyota Prius
