Brake discs Raybestos or OEM BMW
I'm running Raybestos R300 slotted rotors and Powerstop Z23 pads on my 4/2 Brembos, from Rockauto. No complaints or squeals. Holds up really well with repeated heavy braking in the twistys too.
Pros: No squeals, holds up well
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have personally used Raybestos Element 3 from rock auto and they are amazing and rust resistant
Pros: amazing, rust resistant
I replaced both front rotors and all side pins and dust boots with Raybestos stuff a few weeks ago. Easy job, cost $150ish instead of $800 or whatever dealer charged nonsense
It's a commuter and it stops fine
Pros: easy job, stops fine
I went with the Raybestos Element 3. Rotors are coated for rust protection, pads are ceramic. Comes out to just under $100 including shipping.
Pros: rust protection, low cost
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Raybestos R-300 for rotors and Akebono ProACT for pads. Almost no dust, no brake fade and the right price. Everyone recommends the PowerStop stuff, but they wear fast and are noisy.
Pros: no dust, no fade, good price
Cons: PowerStop wears fast, noisy
Blank discs work just fine, I've been using raybestos and they've been pretty good so far
Pros: pretty good
am schimbat discuri si placute fata + senzor si sa ma atenuat din tremurat dar masina acuma trage usor intr-o parte si tot tremura putin volanul
Pros: atenuat din tremurat
Cons: trage usor intr-o parte
Vehicle:
BMW
I like the Raybestos E3 coated rotors but I'm in the rust belt. Stops the hat and edges+vanes from rusting for a couple years. The E3 pads use to be good but they changed the formula and moved from China to India and the last couple sets have squeeled during braking when hot or in reverse so I would personally recommend Advics or Akebono ceramic.
Pros: rust prevention
Cons: squealing brakes
If that's a factory BMW floating rotor keep a very close eye on that. Have seen more than one of those come apart (crack gets to edge, ring breaks away from hat), locks a wheel and full sends you in that direction towards the barriers.... Good buddy totaled his z4m and did like 6-7k of armco damage when that happened
Pros: close eye on factory rotors
Cons: rotors can break apart
Vehicle:
BMW Z4
You need the Msport brakes unless you want new rotors every 5,000 miles. Have a 540i that didn’t come with them and was a nightmare until I upgraded.
Cons: new rotors every 5000
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 5000 km
