Powerstops, they upgraded my braking performance at least by 3x, and they look really good too, I got the kit for my car with the drilled/slotted rotors, powder coated red calipers and ceramic heat resistant pads, they were a HUGE upgrade for sure.
Also here in support of PowerStop. Been running the Z23 Kit on my BMW F30 for a few years. No complaints whatsoever and the drilled and slotted rotors look great! Highly recommend!
When I was told something similar, I went with Powerstop Z36 extreme tow at just over $600 for both front and rear rotors and pads. I did this at 42,000 im now at 115,000 and still good on same set. I use it as a truck and drive it like a sportscar.
Was also thinking of doing EBC dimpled and slotted rotors, just to not worry about potential drilling rotor issues.
I got my 2008 Acura RL calipers on my 00 TL and I used slotted rotors and Bose brake pads. They bite. So IMO I would get the PowerStop, a very good brand everyone loves.
I've had a set of PowerStop Z23 pads, rotors, and calipers, and I drive my card HARD and still doing just fine 30k miles later. Easily 40-50% left. I used to track my car, pre COVID, and that's about the only straight up abuse I've done. I also drive year round through the winter time. I've never had pads wear down faster because of the rotors being drilled/slotted!
I put on the slotted PowerStop rotors and have been very happy with them.
Used a lot of Powerstop brake rotors and pads and I can say that they worked well for me.
I had this when I fitted ebc discs on my Cupra. It's went on for a few hundred miles but then went away. I think it's something to do with the grooves. My thinking was they maybe had a little lip or something that eventually smoothed off.
I also bought Power Stop Z23 Evolution Geomet Coated Rotors after I bought and installed Z23 pads. Desided I need to change the rotors after I installed the pads, oops. What bothered me about Power stop rotors is that the front rotors where NOT Notched (balanaced).
