My shop uses Textar and Zimmerman coated rotors with great results.
OEM pads and rotors lasted 150k miles so I went with them again. $389 for everything. Perfect fit, finish and feel.
I had several issues with warping on my last Toyota and finally switched to OEM parts. Worth the extra dough in my opinion.
Don't have experience with RS models, but we've used Textar brand rotors and pads for our Q5 twice and they're fantastic. Textar is an OEM supplier to Audi. The last set lasted us 90k Km and the bite/behaviour was the same as the original brakes.
Sendo que na oficina de multimarcas local o orçamento com discos da textar fizeram por 318€ preço com mão de obra incluída.
I did mine recently. Purchased new guild pins and boots from rock auto and replaced them while I was at it. For rotors I like Zimmerman, pagid, brembo or textar. And pad I like semi metallic, preferably pagid or textar. For this particular brake job I went with textar rotors and a combination or trw and textar pads. Took me roughly 2-2.5 hours and cost me about 680 CAD. I flushed about a L of pentosin dot 4 through too.
Just pads and rotors is fine. Probably cheap rotors causing the issue. Go OEM Toyota. Almost positive Akebono pads are oem, as well as Advics rotors. Either way these will not warp.
My experience with hundreds of thousands of miles on many different Toyota/Lexus SUV’s is to go with OEM. You shouldn’t have to do anything with the calipers unless one is frozen. You’ll know that for sure when you try to collapse them to put in the new brake pads. Otherwise just new rotors, pads and all hardware (pins, shims, etc)
Be careful with the Textar rotors. They're made in China, I had used them for years when they released but the warranty frequency rate was over double what I had with Zimmermann. Switched back and the come backs dropped back to normal. Made in Germany ftw.
Many heavy 4WD vehicles out there chew through rotors in 25k miles. My LandCruiser goes through them every 20k. And yes, I have checked the thickness and I've tried resurfacing old rotors a couple times but it always resulted in short life and problems.
