Brake discs Raybestos or Textar
For rotors, you’re lighting money on fire if you get anything other than a set of non coated blanks. You aren’t going fast enough, or running long enough sessions to get them so hot that you need drilled and slotted in an attempt to drop every degree you can off the heat sinks, especially if you aren’t pushing for the full session. A quick browse on RockAuto shows that the cheapest drilled and slotted is just under x3 the price of a Raybestos blank. You can warp a set every weekend and still be way ahead (I promise you won’t warp a set every weekend unless you’re abusing the brakes).
Pros: cost-effective, durable for normal use
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Raysbestos Street Performance rotors are excellent. They are high-carbon and better able to manage heat and resist warping and cracking than ordinary grey iron rotors.
Pros: high-carbon, manage heat, resist warping
Raybesto Elemental rotors. You wont have to deal with rust on the hats anymore.
Pros: no rust on hats
Bisschen spät für den Post, aber für andere Suchende vielleicht interessant: habe für meinen Fiat Tipo auch hinten Bremsscheiben und Belag neu machen lassen. Materialkosten lagen bei mir bei 212€ (Textar-Bremsscheiben) und 85€ (Bremsbeläge). Flüssigkeit lag bei 11,40€. Arbeitsaufwand bei 150€.
Pros: Materialkosten Bremsscheiben bekannt
Vehicle:
Fiat Tipo
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
Ich bin mittlerweile von Brembo, Ate usw zu Textar gewechselt (Scheiben und Beläge) da mir der Rostschutz sehr wichtig war.....und auch jetzt, nach ca. 70000km, sehen die Scheiben aus wie aus dem Karton....mit Ausnahme der blanken Bremsfläche.
Pros: guter Rostschutz, lange Lebensdauer
Mileage: 70000 km
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
Hatte schon Brembo, Ate, Textar, Ferodo, TRW und Pagid verbaut. Vom reinen Bremswirkung fand ich Textar immer am Besten, da war aber auch nach spätestens 50.000 km Schluss mit den Scheiben. Ate war gefühlt ein My schlechter in der Bremswirkung, dafür aber sehr sehr haltbar - die goldene Mitte eben. Mit Brembo habe ich nur schlechte Erfahrungen gemacht, die Scheiben hatten nach 2.000 km Schlag, die Beläge wurden ziemlich schnell hart und quietschten wie Sau und besonders lang hielten sie auch nicht - dafür waren sie genau so teuer wie Ate. Habe aktuell Ferodo drauf, die waren günstig und bisher nach ca. 25.000 km absolut unauffällig.
Pros: gute Bremswirkung, haltbar
Cons: schnelle Abnutzung, quietschen
Vehicle:
Opel Vectra B
Mileage: 50000 km
I have moved over to power stop as well. I've had problems with the Raybestos E3.
Cons: problems with Raybestos E3
