Within the last 500-1000 miles, she has received Textar Rotors and EBC Brake Pads.
Pros: improved braking
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Just put the same exact rotors on. With Hawk pads and SS brake lines too. Love it so far.
Pros: love it
I threw that same combination on my genesis coupe to replace the brembos. This is probably a better brake set up and much cheaper, I beat the crap out of it on multiple track days with next to no fade.
Pros: better setup, cheaper, no fade
Vehicle:
Hyundai Genesis Coupe
Pagid is one of the industry leaders in brakes. They have other single piece cast rotors in the $100/ea range, just make sure you stick with something that uses a high carbon alloy. There's nothing wrong with going single piece, Stoptech's performance rotors are just drilled and slotted Centric high carbon single piece rotors. If you're going to keep the car long enough to realistically think you'll change the rotors again, then FCP Euro for the lifetime warranty. I've run Stoptech Sports and they're fantastic but make a fair amount of noise at the end of their life and expensive now.
Pros: fantastic performance, good value
Cons: noisy at end of life, expensive
Vehicle:
BMW
I use stop tech on all my cars, kind of spongy at the very top but other than that they bite hard.
Pros: bite hard
Cons: spongy at top
Awesome! I used StopTech. Wanted slotted only, but they shipped me drilled and slotted. Oh and I went on doing the braided steel brake lines too for fun. So far so good ????
Pros: so far so good
The StopTech Zinc Coated Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors I’m using started their life as Centric 120 (121) blanks: https://www.buybrakes.com/brake-rotors/stoptech-drilled-slotted-brake-rotors-best-price-select-227
- The next step up is the 127 series high carbon rotor, but the cost is 2x the StopTech 227 series Centric 120/121 rotor and performance is roughly the same, only longevity changes as the hat is painted (vs the Zinc coating on the 227). I’ve had this set on my 2013 G37S for a couple of years now and performance is slightly better than stock with almost no brake dust thrown from the 305/308 series Centric pads that ship with the kit.
Pros: better than stock performance, low brake dust
Vehicle:
Infiniti
Part number: 227
I like shitty Textar rotors because they’re cheap, consistent, and easy to come by.
Pros: cheap, consistent, easy
Vehicle:
BMW
I got the "stoptech" brand if I remember correctly. They install the exact same as other brands, the difference is higher quality material, and maybe drilled / slotted.
Pros: higher quality material
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
Brakes: (front) StopTech 13.5” slotted Frodo, 944 Porsche pads, (rear) VR6 disc from 1996 Golf
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
