Ive got r1s on 3 of my cars and love them. Put out a decent amount of brake dust so either learn to live with it or youll be finger banging your wheels to keep them clean. Working on set #2 on my camry, lasted about 40k miles but i drive hard. Handled well thru the mountains
Powerstop changed my life! Slotted and drilled and run like a champ
I went with R1 Concepts for the front..thats with slotted and drilled rotors and pads and im happy with them. I've run them about 6k miles so far and no issues.
I was more than happy with my R1 Rotors at Sonoma 2 weeks ago. I felt a bit of pulsing when I got the brakes especially hot, but I never had any real fading.
I put the PowerStop rotors (slotted and drilled) and (ceramic) pads on our cars. They work just fine for our everyday driving scenarios. Have never had a case where stopping ability is in question. The first set now have +30k mileage and appear to be wearing at a satisfactory rate.
Power stop z33 kit. Drilled and slotted rotors, carbon ceramic pads. VERY strong and progressive feeling. Inexpensive, and the kit was comprehensive. Would 100% buy them again.
I've been happy with PowerStop on RockAuto but make sure you get coated rotors cause they rust and look like dog shit if you don't.
I suggest going with a good set of plain powerstop rotors which have a zinc coating and are really cheap and some can argue much better quality than OEM.
My stock rotors (metallic pads) lasted 9 years and a track day. My ebay drilled/slotted rotors (ceramic pads)lasted 9 years and a handful of track days; they didn't crack the chamfer was just looking iffy. My latest set is from Amazon, powerstop branded drilled/slotted rotors (ceramic pads); have survived 1 track day, 1 light hdpe day and are on year 3. If you get drilled (any brand), you need to inspect the rotors more often.
I did the powerstop drilled slotted rotors thing on my Outback 3.6 which I’d run on the heavy side on family trips. The Gen 4 Outback’s are known to have poor brake performance and I thought it would be a smart upgrade for extra margin. In the end I wouldn’t recommend. More noise, faster pad wear, premature cracking around the drilled holes on the rotors, questionable performance upgrade.
