I used Textar discs and pads all round last time I did brakes and no complaints here. All good and would recommend.
Just had a major service done on 2017 Hilux 4x4. replaced front rotors and pads and comprehensive safety check and report. The best quality service I’ve ever experienced
front brakes are solid, i had trouble finding break disc locally for 4x100, and calipers you can buy rebuild kits or whole new ones.
I swapped out some very sad stock rotors for slotted ones and I DID notice a difference but only because I'd done the pads as well and well.... fresh brakes!
At 180k I had a whole brake system overhaul, replaced all rotors and pads with new brake fluid. Textar parts all around.
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€.
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.
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.
A few thousand miles later and I started to noticed a some shaking in the steering wheel when braking in the higher speeds (60-80mph). I called a few shops in my area that were highly recommend on both here Reddit, yelp, and the forums. Most pointed to warped rotors. One shop says to have the rotors machined and another says to have the completely replaced. What are your guy’s thoughts on having them machined?
Tried aftermarket rotors on my Toyota corolla. Warped them twice within 6 months. Used cheapies from orielly's. Put Toyota rotors on, been fine ever since.
