When I was told something similar, I went with Powerstop Z36 extreme tow at just over $600 for both front and rear rotors and pads. I did this at 42,000 im now at 115,000 and still good on same set. I use it as a truck and drive it like a sportscar.
looks like ate power rotor (at least ones i had with "flower" shape were ate power). grewt rotors, a bit noisy on braking, but when flower is gone, rotor is for trash also... btw pad is upside down
I haven’t seen those ATE rotors in awhile. I used them and liked them.
I got my 2008 Acura RL calipers on my 00 TL and I used slotted rotors and Bose brake pads. They bite. So IMO I would get the PowerStop, a very good brand everyone loves.
I've had a set of PowerStop Z23 pads, rotors, and calipers, and I drive my card HARD and still doing just fine 30k miles later. Easily 40-50% left. I used to track my car, pre COVID, and that's about the only straight up abuse I've done. I also drive year round through the winter time. I've never had pads wear down faster because of the rotors being drilled/slotted!
I put on the slotted PowerStop rotors and have been very happy with them.
Totally NOT recommending Brembo, totally recommending ATE disks with ATE pads with Ceramic, even cheaper but **much much** better than Brembo, from all standpoints
Used a lot of Powerstop brake rotors and pads and I can say that they worked well for me.
My stock rotors (metallic pads) lasted 9 years and a track day. My ebay drilled/slotted rotors (ceramic pads)lasted 9 years and a handful of track days; they didn't crack the chamfer was just looking iffy. My latest set is from Amazon, powerstop branded drilled/slotted rotors (ceramic pads); have survived 1 track day, 1 light hdpe day and are on year 3. If you get drilled (any brand), you need to inspect the rotors more often.
I’d get the plain discs instead… drilled rotors tend to crack and slots will chew away your pads…!
