For daily use, go for brembo blanks on your rotors. Oem pads are great for that initial bite but HORRIBLE on dust. I would go for akebono ceramic pads. They need a little more time to be warmed up but they’re great imo. Hardly any dust, super quiet, and they do just fine on my occasional canyon runs.
I put Brembo Sport rotors with EBC Red Stuff pads and ATE TYP200 brake fluid. Works great.
Got these on my Corolla, they're actually good for reasonably cheap brakes.
i was on the fence about buying them and i did a bunch of research and after speaking with my buddy who is a mechanic and owns a tundra he said that the powerstop brakes aren't great and if you don't have the money to do the tundra swap, to get the brembo rotors and either akebono or brembo pads. ive been driving with this setup for about six months and have had no issues. the braking feel and stopping power has noticeably improved.
The best stopping combination so far on my 08 sedan with 140K is Brembo UV Coated rotors and Advanced Auto Parts Carquest Wearever Gold Semi-Metallic Brake Pads Previously I had Zimmerman rotors and Hawk HPS pads, I got a grinding feeling/noise when stopping. The Carquest pads dust like OEM but for the stopping power and smoothness/linear feel I will put up with it.
Best bang for buck brake setup on a Corrado/Mk3 Front: 11.3 DE's with Tyrol Sport Bushings and a proper pad and brembo OE rotors Rear: Stock rear, Mk4 Calipers, proper pads, and brembo OE rotors. Rotor material is too often overlooked and a must for proper performance. Brembo seems to have the best metallurgy IMO.
I did buy replacement rotors (Brembo) and pads (Bosch quietcast) from FCP and I have no complaints.
I know my Brembos cracked like a Mofo. They are still kicking ass and unwarped though
On my old '93 300ZX, my brakes were shot so I had specifically ordered Brembo (solid) rotors, Hawk HPS pads, SS brake lines and the blue performance brake fluid. honestly, I really never felt that the brakes were that much better than oem.
The front rotors were in a box from Zimmerman and rear were from Brembo. Just about from the start the brakes slightly squealed. The noise gradually increased that nearly each time the brakes were stepped on they squealed. After about 2K miles the noise got to the point of being excessive. They squeal in the morning when cool when slowing from 20MPH or warm and hot when slowing from 45+MPH. The only way to make them silent is to slam on them hard, but the next time they will squeal as well. In addition to the noise, the rotors started developing rust on the hub sections.
