I installed Raybestos Element 3 on my wife\u2019s 2015 LT along with new Element 3 rotors. Better stopping power than the stock pads but a little more brake dust. The increased performance is worth it to me.
Brakes are a composition issue. rears wore out at 34,000 miles on my 22 Taos S. Replaced with Raybestos Hybrid ceramic and with 87,000 they still have plenty of life.
Love my Raybestos ST43 on my Corvette for the track with 200 series tires. They can be a bit annoying on the street.
Element3 rotors are A++
Raybestos Element 3 in the Forester (surprisingly good pads and cheap AF)
I've had great luck with Raybestos Element 3 rotors..
For rotors, you’re lighting money on fire if you get anything other than a set of non coated blanks. You aren’t going fast enough, or running long enough sessions to get them so hot that you need drilled and slotted in an attempt to drop every degree you can off the heat sinks, especially if you aren’t pushing for the full session. A quick browse on RockAuto shows that the cheapest drilled and slotted is just under x3 the price of a Raybestos blank. You can warp a set every weekend and still be way ahead (I promise you won’t warp a set every weekend unless you’re abusing the brakes).
I used Raybestos rotors this last time, and they are OK, but they have a little vibration to them.
I have the Raybestos EHT on my ol' Camry and Avalon. They lack longevity and will pulse toward then end of their usable life. The quality control has slipped a little of the years. You might have to file fit them(as with any pad). I'd say that they won't tolerate a hack installer. My EHT stopped better than my Akeboner proacts.
The drums were absolute garbage, the vehicle didn’t stop smoothly. I just couldn’t believe it.
