I did brembo rotors and akebono pads up front on my '12 a few weeks ago. Happy with them so far, saved me from hitting a deer a few days after getting them on. Still need to do the backs and probably change out the calipers at some point.
I've used the power stop and semi-coat rotors for many years on my truck and suv. Definitely notice a difference with the coating on the rotors being somewhere that the roads get salted in the winter. The pads have a good lifetime on them and have never had any issues.
Dad used brembo on kadjar, expensive asf but worth it
I do oem for nearly everything. Rotors are not one of them. PowerStop Evolution rotors are OE weight and quality with a zinc coating for corrosion at a decent price. I think I'm on my 4th set over a decade and two cars.
Short answer, oem rotors are not worth it. Brake pads and rotors are one of the areas the aftermarket is great at. I have been happy with Power Stop geomet fully coated rotors. They cost basically the same or a dollar or two more vs the semi coated on rockauto.
Not including labor, I spent like $400 for PowerStop Drilled and Slotted Rotors + Brake Pads for all 4 wheels.
Good but get the coated rotors if you live somewhere with winters. They last me much longer than the uncoated ones.
I got some with regular rotors worked amazing this past year. Would buy again tbh.
NAPA now carries brembo catalog. I ask for a price to see if they can even come close to FCP euro. some brembo 2 piece rotors for my car is what I had them run.
I replaced mine with Power Stop rotors and pads at about 60k and noticed zero difference in braking after. They also only lasted 20k miles before the rotors started to warp. Just put OEMs back on. Absolutely not worth it.
