Brake discs Textar or Duralast
I used Textar discs and pads all round last time I did brakes and no complaints here. All good and would recommend.
Pros: All good
Cons: no complaints
At 180k I had a whole brake system overhaul, replaced all rotors and pads with new brake fluid. Textar parts all around.
Pros: brake system overhaul
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 180000 km
I like the duralast gold brake rotors. They have a really nice coating to help prevent corrosion, if you’re in the north east I really recommend them. They do need to be bedded once installed to get rid of the coating on the braking surface of the rotor. You pretty much just get the car up to 20mph and hit the brakes a little aggressive, you do this a few times each time increasing your speed. It comes with clear instructions how to do it.
Pros: nice coating, prevents corrosion
Cons: needs bedding
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
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
Dynamic Friction makes a good geomet-coated rotor that is excellent for what they cost.
Pros: excellent for the cost
My shop uses Textar and Zimmerman coated rotors with great results.
Pros: great results
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 had them on my Z32 a few times, not bad, I wouldnt do track days with them, (well I did once they warped). But outside of that, for daily they are fine.
Pros: fine for daily use
Cons: warped on track
Vehicle:
Nissan
That's likely the lowest possible grade of rotors I've seen in a while. Lathe marks are too rough, and the casting is bad.
Cons: lowest grade, rough lathe marks, bad casting
