I just upgraded mine to DBA T2 rotors and Hawk HPS pads. So far I've been very happy with them.
Pros: very happy
Vehicle:
Subaru
I did mine pretty early solely because the OEM rotors were wearing like a vinyl record. Both the pads and rotors still had plenty of material—it was just a bad wear pattern. I went to Girodisc pads and rotors and have had them on happily ever since.
Pros: happy with Girodisc
Cons: bad wear pattern
Was literally checking out these rotors for our FJ Cruiser, a lot of other FJ owners use the T2 and T3 rotors but I really wanted to avoid a slotted rotor due to dust and wear concerns. Have a set of DVA XP pads in the meantime.
Pros: avoid slotted rotor
Cons: dust and wear concerns
Vehicle:
Toyota FJ Cruiser
Rotors (Girodiscs 2pc) have already been confirmed to be seeing 1500F temps. Cracked annd needing replacement after 10-12 days on track.
Cons: cracked, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
