Don\u2019t get the Powerstop drill slotted rotors. Get their regular rotors. I had them on my \u201819 2.0t and they were remarkable brakes.
Just bought the powerstop rotors and oem break pads and they worked great. Just make sure buy the squeak shims or they make noise.
I switched to brembo xtra dics and pads and im very happy with them.
Powerstop drilled/slotted on mine for like 70k and they’ve been great. Oddly enough it looks like the fronts will outlast the rears.
About a year ago I looked up on a lot of forums and decided to order the original blank face rotors from brembo and EBC red stuff pads front & back. Was about $600 to 700 with the brakes pads being the most money.
I got Power Stop CRK8522 front and rear (got rotors too) off Amazon.
Powerstop is one of the best option for brakes. I'm planning of using them when I need new pads and rotors. I've used them on a few projects and have never been disappointed. In fact, I like them better compared to oem rotors with akebono pads.
I also had this dilemma. Brembo discs / pads are mostly just marketing, they're not magical brakes but when it comes to standard brakes they're usually better and longer lasting than others.
I purchased the LS400 brake calipers brand new from the Lexus dealership. I used brand new aftermarket Brembo brand OEM spec brake rotors as well. When I picked the car up from them with the LS400 brakes installed, the front brakes squealed badly immediately.
The Brembo rotors for the i3 are the poorer quality than the OEM Zimmermann. Don't waste your money. Brake dust is not a big concern in general since it washes off easily, especially for the i3.
