Brake discs TRW or Duralast
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
Dynamic Friction makes a good geomet-coated rotor that is excellent for what they cost.
Pros: excellent for the cost
I used TRW XPS rotor and TRW DTEC pads on my city previously, drive rather spiritually on weekend rides at most of the famous B-roads in KV. No problem in stopping, bite points has improved over the stock
Pros: no stopping problems, improved bite points
Trw rotors are good. Using for 4 years still vigorous and holds well even entensive abuse and torture.
Pros: vigorous, holds well
Dynamic Friction are great with ceramic pads, only complaint is cosmetic, they do not coat the rotors so after some rain the inside hub of the rotors starts to rust. Purely cosmetic, great rotors! I drive them fast regularly and they perform better than OEM
Pros: better than OEM, great performance
Cons: cosmetic rust
Rotors for my 25 year old car with a discount cost like 50 eur per set and they not the worst ones, but something known like TRW.
Pros: known brand, decent quality for price
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
On the way back it started shuttering bad while breaking, especially down hill. I took it back to the place that did the brakes and they said front rotors were overheated. The parts are TRW (pads and rotors).
Cons: shuttering bad, overheated
Vehicle:
Ford Transit
Mileage: 3000 km
I've got cheap discs 15K miles ago and I've got terrible judder under braking (when brakes are hot) for the last 10K miles..I was thinking to replace the front ones with trw discs and jurid pads
Cons: terrible judder
Mileage: 15000 km
