My previous Maxima warped rotors like crazy until I put some of the EBC usr slotted on it. They are excellent rotors.
Reliability and safety are my main concerns right now, so I also have Girodisc rotors
EBC rotors (made in England) and Akebono pads (US). My mechanic thought that the rotors were OEM. Nice and thick and able to be cut once. Akebono pads are frequently OEM, quiet, long-lasting and dust free. Only coins this combo costs more than most.
Almost every car in our PCA club runs GiroDiscs, even the GT and RS cars. Never heard a single complaint, and love them on my C2 and GT3.
EBC has worked well for us on 3 cars already. When time comes our 2020 Tiguan will most likely get the BSD Series Sport Rotor w/Ultra Quiet V Slot Configuration. Had those and the Red Pads on an 03 GS300 and Red Stuff brake pads with some generic slotted and dimple rotors on the back. Excellent and smooth!
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.
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.
The stock front rotors have fairly significant heat spots and slight warping. I do mostly spirited street driving with some track use but obviously heat dissipation has been an issue, given how hefty the car is. Looking to upgrade the rotors and pads to more performance oriented options while hoping to keep the level of noise and dust relatively low.
I've been running EBC rotors for a few years now. They are very loud when braking. Sounds kinda like a rattlesnake. I drive with my windows down alot, so I hear it. I probably won't ever get the EBC again.
