Owner reviews for brake discs

I just put on Zimmerman rotors and hawk 5.0 pads all around and it’s been great. Stops quick, doesn’t make much noise, and not too expensive

The Zimmerman/Akebono combo is what I have. They're great. I wouldn't have anything else.

Powerstop drilled/slotted on mine for like 70k and they’ve been great. Oddly enough it looks like the fronts will outlast the rears.

Advics rotors and pads are good too.

About a year ago I looked up on a lot of forums and decided to order the original blank face rotors from brembo and EBC red stuff pads front & back. Was about $600 to 700 with the brakes pads being the most money.

Looked on eBay and front and rear Bendix rotors are $230 delivered for a 2004-2014 Mazda 3.

I’ve ran the R1 concepts D/S with OE Pads, steel lines, MOTUL 660 fluid. I’ve got them pretty hot on mountain road runs many times, no issues.

Was literally checking out these rotors for our FJ Cruiser, a lot of other FJ owners use the T2 and T3 rotors but I really wanted to avoid a slotted rotor due to dust and wear concerns. Have a set of DVA XP pads in the meantime.

The shop changed the discs and pads. Brakes seemed totally unchanged and the issue occurred again almost immediately. Someone suggested they didn\u2019t flush the lines properly. Worked as expected 90% of the time, but had several instances where they seemed like I pushed the pedal all the way through with little reaction.

I’m bummed a year into my new Brembo rotors and they are rusting at the hub. It looked like they had silver paint on them. Damn it.
