We are on our fifth weekend with our girodisc two piece rotors. Yes they are expensive, but they are worth it. They are so much better with heat management.
I've had great luck with Centric Premium coated (blank) rotors. I put them on everything.
I've always had good luck with the coated Centric rotors I've gotten from RA. No warping, good corrosion resistance.
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!
Follow up after my track day: The Girodiscs + Pagids were amazing. Tons of bite, and zero fade, plus plenty of pedal feel after two days of running hard at VIR.
I have had great success with Girodisc rotors this summer. I have been using Ferodo DS2500 pads for a few years and love them, but rotor temperatures would hit 800+ degrees after track sessions and conventional rotors, like Stop Tech, developed surface cracking and maybe a bit of warp. Girodisc rotor temps have been around 550 degrees after sessions this summer.
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.
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.
