I recently went with Bosch branded discs and pads for an E46 330i M Sport. So far, so good.
Bosch quiet cast rotors and akebono pads. Pros not alot of dust so wheels are pretty clean. Cons none so far.
Hey, 2 weeks ago I bought Bosch QuietCast rotors from jeffrey bezos...FRONTS pair were $120 ($60 each) and rears pair was $60 ($30 each). Also bought Bosch brake pads from Tirerack for $45 fronts and $29 rears.
I got rear Bosch rear discs for my DS3 (with bearings and ABS rings) for £39 each delivered best deal I could get at ECP was £91 each best part was they were delivered by ECP
I usually just use the built in threaded rotor removal bolt holes on Toyota rotors, they usually work very well... Much better than beating the shit out of the rotor with a sledge hammer, all that does is hammer the wheel bearings to death unnecessarily.
I will say this that I have noticed a measured difference in my vehicle's ability to stop and in the Brake bite is more pronounced
I went with Bosch Quiet Cast rotors and pads a year ago. Extremely happy with them.
Just an FYI. I just did the brakes and rotors on my LS430. Brake pads are the easiest job ever did. it's just a pin and a clip. Rotors require removing 4 bolts and replacing them as they are drop bolts. Still easiest brake job I have done on a car and I did for around I think 400 with OEM parts
The rotors and pads I used were Bosch and I'd use them again.
Many heavy 4WD vehicles out there chew through rotors in 25k miles. My LandCruiser goes through them every 20k. And yes, I have checked the thickness and I've tried resurfacing old rotors a couple times but it always resulted in short life and problems.
