Brake discs STOPTECH or Raybestos
I did two-piece stoptech rotors on my Viper. The solid rotors on those were 27lbs each wheel. The stoptech rotors are around 17.x lbs each. So I saved 10lbs per wheel, its a huge difference in rotating mass. I improve my MPG, not kidding and feels a lot more agile having lost that weight. The car isnt working as hard to rotate all 4 wheels!!!
Pros: significant weight saving, improved agility, better MPG
Vehicle:
Dodge Viper
Cryo Stoptech slotted rotors with Isweep 3000 short track pads front, Stoptech slotted rotors and Isweep 3000 pads rear, SS brake lines
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I went with Raybestos for the rotors and pads this time since they’re a brand I’ve used before and trust for consistency.
Pros: trusted brand, consistent quality
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
For rotors, raybestos is a solid bang for your buck and I haven’t had any problems with them
Pros: solid bang for buck
Cons: no problems
I used StopTech slotted rotors (not drilled and slotted) and semi-metallic pads on my 2006 Lexus GX470. Obviously I've changed the brake pads a few times but after 200K miles (yes, that many) my rotors are still in excellent shape. I will not buy anything else, ever
Pros: rotors still in shape
Vehicle:
Lexus
Mileage: 321869 km
I’ve replaced brakes 7 times on my 18 AWD GT2. The set I have on now have lasted me the longest (installed them in May and have driven 5k with them). I bought mine from K8StingerStore. Rotors are Stoptech Performance Premium Rotors
Pros: lasted longest, good performance
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 5000 km
Installed LHT S2000 Brake Package which are StopTech slotted rotors, Hawk 5.0 front pads, organic rear pads, Goodridge braided stainless steel brake lines, bleed, and flush brake system.
Pros: braided stainless steel lines
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Look for rotors made from high-carbon iron. High carbon rotors are going to handle heat and resist cracking/warping better than normal grey-iron rotors. They don't have to be extremely expensive either.
Raysbestos Street Performance rotors are high carbon and probably available on Rockauto.
Pros: handle heat, resist cracking
Cons: normal grey-iron rotors
OEM rotors rust like that in snowy areas, they look unevenly worn. If it gets a little worst you’re going to replace the pads and rotors. Ray bestos makes pads/rotors coated with zinc that won’t rust like the OEM ones.
Pros: zinc coated, won’t rust
Cons: unevenly worn, rust easily
Get Advics as they're closest to OEM money can buy, stay away from Raybestos i've had nothing but quality issues when I got those rotors.
Pros: closest to OEM
Cons: quality issues
