I've done the Centric e-coat rotors and ceramic pads from Rock Auto on 4 of my vehicles over the years and have been very happy. Rotors don't turn into a ball of rust after getting wet once, let alone thru a salty Midwest winter. Pads seem to have good bite and consistent stopping power (1 set was on my old Mazda3) and no noise or dust.
Had great luck with the Centric Premium rotors and the Power Stop Z23 pads, which have good bite and no dust.
A friend got quoted too much for a brake job while I was visiting out of state and they were only going to turn the rotors. So, I volunteered to do the job. All I had was the spare jack and tire iron. I bought a set of wrenches and a cheap c-clamp from HF to do the job. Yup, sure have a ton of the right tools at home. This just got-r-done. Buttery smooth brakes with new Centric rotors!
Just bought the Centric 125 plain high carbon rotors for front and rear with the Hawk HPS 5.0 front pads and Hawk Ceramic rear pads. Highly recommend this setup. Noticeable improvement for street driving only, I just cruise fast sometimes, no track time.
centric blank rotors and then either OEM pads or i went with the Hawk HPS 5.0 which was a nice upgrade over stock.
for the street I've found the basic RockAuto/Centric shit to be perfectly fine. Even basic Centric blanks can handle track use at (admittedly pathetically low) stock power.
I went with Bosch Quiet Cast rotors and pads a year ago. Extremely happy with them.
Centric blanks. You don’t even need cryo treatment unless you’re doing autocross.
Rockauto sells I believe Centric rotors which have good reviews on the various LS forums I've seen, and they're cheap!
I've used RockAuto (Centric brand) solids, StopTech drilled+slotted, and now [https://brakeperformance.com/](https://brakeperformance.com/) drilled stuff. Centric were fine just got rid of them early since I thought they were warped.
