My E39 rotors have lasted forever. They’re Brembo from rock auto with Aki Bono pads. Run the same set up on both of our E46’s as well
No complaints about the Brembo's on my car, on the second set now. Previously used Mintex.
Just pads and rotors is fine. Probably cheap rotors causing the issue. Go OEM Toyota. Almost positive Akebono pads are oem, as well as Advics rotors. Either way these will not warp.
My experience with hundreds of thousands of miles on many different Toyota/Lexus SUV’s is to go with OEM. You shouldn’t have to do anything with the calipers unless one is frozen. You’ll know that for sure when you try to collapse them to put in the new brake pads. Otherwise just new rotors, pads and all hardware (pins, shims, etc)
I did the tundra upgrade 10 years ago, and I'm STILL on the same rotors!!!
I replaced mine around 55k miles. You’ll be so much happier starting fresh, no shuddering, better braking power.
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”
I bought brembo front and rear and the rears were uncoated and already look shite. The front ones are rust free.
Recently needed front discs on my Astra VXR and just the parts were £2500. Apparently Brembo only made that part for that car so they’re rare. Managed to find them privately with front and rear pads for £820 plus a couple hundred to my local garage to fit them and some other bits.
Bought Brembo UV coated rear rotors to specifically replace Bosch ones with rusty hubs - doesn't look good because clearly visible through the rims. After few rainy days I clearly see rust spots on the Brembo rotor hubs... Very disappointed as this was the reason for replacing in the first place - previous ones (Bosch) were only 1y old.
