Brake discs Raybestos or Duralast
I've also got a Type R and Rock Auto does sell one-piece blanks for our cars. They're made by Dynamic Friction. I had a pair of two-piece Paragon front rotors that I bought used but sold them to keep consumables cost down. They did well on track. Haven't tracked the blanks yet, but am registered for an event in August.
Pros: good on track, cost effective
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
Part number: 60459065 FRONT AND 60459067 REAR
Look at raybestos R300 rotors. I use them on my wrx. They’re slotted with squiggles so they look cool, while not being drilled so they won’t crack. They also are apparently have higher carbon content so they Lee supposed to be able to handle heat better. They’re reasonably priced available on rock out and stuff. Then I use hawk HPs. A Good set of Pads will make a much bigger impact for you
Pros: cool, heat resistant
Vehicle:
Subaru
Part number: R300
I installed Raybestos high carbon front rotors and Raybestos Element 3 rears on mine and they've been great. I'm using the Raybestos Element 3 pads as well.
Pros: great performance, reliable

I have applied Dynamic friction rotors and no OEM pads on my giulia at 29K miles, I am closing on 33 K and no issue what so ever (except for the ceramic pad dusts in the wheels). I would recommend not wasting your money on Alfa oem rotors or pads. They are ridiculously overpriced and if they were so good, you won’t be replacing them at 30 K. Rotos usually lasts well above 50K miles.
Pros: no issues, long lifespan
Cons: ceramic dust
Mileage: 33000 km
I've been running posi-quiet pads and duralast gold rotors and it's been excellent great stopping power similar to stock and and minimal break dust!
Pros: excellent stopping power, minimal dust
Just replaced everything with new Raybestos coated rotors and Power Stop ceramic pads. Brakes work so nice/smooth now
Pros: nice smooth brakes
Vehicle:
Audi
Mileage: 27000 km
I just did mine. I put on raybestos rotors and akebono pads. Stopping power is significantly better the the OE rotors and pads I took off. SIGNIFICANTLY.
Pros: significantly better stopping power
replaced rotors and pads on my 11' 460. The price difference between grinding and getting new rotors was pretty small so i just bought new gear. Ended up going with the duralast gold rotors which are nice because they have a coating so they don't rust. After about a year and a half, i'm still happy with everything.
Pros: don't rust, good quality
The EBC Yellowstuff pads didn't last as long as the OE pads. The Alfa EBC rotors still are shipping with Gen1 "ThermicBlack" coating on them, which isn't as good as the Geomet/Geospec coating that EBC claims to now be using on new production parts. The EBC Gen1 coating rusts and looks like a pretty nasty rotor in just two years. I went with the EBC rotors in 2021 because I didn't want Chinese parts either, and the EBC items are made in the UK (and pads may be made in the USA).So when I did the rear brakes again this year (rear EBC YS pads shot in 23k miles), I went back to the OE Alfa rear pads. I ordered the EBC rotors, but when they showed up with the Gen1 coating that sucks, I returned them. And I ended up having to buy Dynamic Friction Geospec/Geomet coated rotors, which are made in China. The Dynamic Friction rotors were well packaged (much better than the EBCs). So far, they're completely fine after maybe 100 miles.
Pros: good packaging, fine performance
Cons: short lifespan, poor coating
Mileage: 23000 km
I did the fronts with \"Duralast.\" They produced a HORRIBLE shudder when braking. I replaced them with the same this and the issue was the same. So, I bought OEM pads/rotors and the issued COMPLETELY went away.
Cons: horrible shudder when braking
