I think it's absolutely worth it if you have quality rotors. Had a set of drilled EBC rotors a while back, and had them turned 3 times before they were below spec. Think it was under $20 per rotor. Those things never warped.
My previous Maxima warped rotors like crazy until I put some of the EBC usr slotted on it. They are excellent 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.
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!
I usually just use the built in threaded rotor removal bolt holes on Toyota rotors, they usually work very well... Much better than beating the shit out of the rotor with a sledge hammer, all that does is hammer the wheel bearings to death unnecessarily.
I bought EBC slotted rotors and Akebono euro ceramic pads from FCPEuro. They have a lifetime warranty and are hands down the best brakes I have ever had on all of my cars
I personally went with some EBC rotors and pads. Front and back with new brake lines cost me about 1k but I\u2019m tuned and plan on making the car even faster.
I will say this that I have noticed a measured difference in my vehicle's ability to stop and in the Brake bite is more pronounced
Some people will get an error when trying to get their xenons to go into adaptation mode. I played with my setup and got a MIL. My rear level sensor is a good bit off, so it throws my xenons off no matter what. Ill need to tap a new hole and play with positioning in order to get the measurement back to where the car will auto adjust again. Ill let u guys know what I come up with, along with a really easy to follow write up.
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.
