Brake discs DBA or Raybestos
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
Look for rotors made from high-carbon iron. High carbon rotors are going to handle heat and resist cracking/warping better than normal grey-iron rotors. They don't have to be extremely expensive either.
Raysbestos Street Performance rotors are high carbon and probably available on Rockauto.
Pros: handle heat, resist cracking
Cons: normal grey-iron rotors
I'm running DBA T3 Rotors with Powerstop Z26 Street Warrior Pads. I love the DBA rotors and had them on my previous Genesis Coupe. The Rotors aren't cheap with but worth it IMO.
Pros: worth it
Cons: rotors aren't cheap
Got DBA T3 4000 rotors on sale from tire rack a couple weeks ago for cheaper than the T2s. Hawk HP 5.0 pads and I'm very happy with the results.
Pros: very happy with results
I went with DBA street series with hawk pads. No complaints after 2 yrs of daily. Street Series feels more OEM+.
Pros: feels more OEM+, no complaints
Element3 rotors are A++
Pros: excellent performance
I've had great luck with Raybestos Element 3 rotors..
Pros: great luck
DBA has good gear, just put street series on my VF & are good.
Pros: good quality, good performance
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
I have moved over to power stop as well. I've had problems with the Raybestos E3.
Cons: problems with Raybestos E3
