Never bought Centric Calipers, but I’ve bought their “Premium” rotors for three different cars and have been very pleased with them. I have heard great things about their posi-quiet (I think that’s the name) ceramic brake pads, but I always use Akebono since the price difference is usually pretty small on rockauto and akebono is super premium. Those pads are amazing. Great performance, no dust, and no noise.
I think the ones I just fitted on the front are TRW, they were significantly cheaper than the genuine parts I've previously bought, but the performance is at least as good, with less brake dust. There's a big difference between quality and cheap parts when it comes to brakes, cheaper rotors will be much more likely to warp.
Just did a brake job for my Accord (painted calipers, new Centric Premium rotors, new Akebono Performance pads, new hardware, fluid, etc.).
Plain Centric rotors have served me well, too.
I went with the Centric Rotors and Power Stop Pads, it has been good so far. Had to replace them at 26k miles as well.
Just put Centric rotors with RS-R pads on the front. Great combo, doing the rears when it warms up with the same combination.
I upgraded my front rotors and pads when they needed to be replaced last year. He recommended solid (non drilled/non slotted) rotors to avoid cracking. My braking distance was *much* shorter after the swap.
I went with Centric/Stoptech blanks when I replaced the worn out rotors on my R32. They've been just fine. It was a swap to Hawk HPS pads that made a HUGE difference.
Some of the best cost effect rotors on the market are Centric Premium rotors, they make most of the OEM rotors in the auto market (even Brembo too) but you won't pay for the brand name on them.
I have the same pad compound but I end up just buying some cheap Centric blanks. The rotors end up taking in so much heat that they'll end up with a crack here and there. I just end up tossing the rotors and pads, they're relatively cheap so it doesn't bother me much.
