I had StopTech sport slotted cryo-treated rotors on the front and Hawk HPS pads all around. Stopped me every time. Lack of fade coming off the freeway was amazballs. Never warped.
Owner reviews for brake discs
The only thing I have done to it before the most recent work was to change out the rotors and pads.
I'm running Powerstop drilled and slotted rotors (stock diameter) and their ceramic pads both front and rears and they perform great. I dont track my car but for street use is perfectly fine. The pads have very little brake dust and I don't hear any noise from them either and pedal feel is a bit better than stock to me but just barely. I've had these on since last year without any problems. I also have this brand on my other vehicles..specifically my '99 Subaru 2.5rs...and never had any issues with the brakes at all and it's been 10 yrs. So I'm hoping to get the same results with my R.
I got the brake pad light at 51K. I knew I'd need new pads and rotors all around. I look at this as a chance to upgrade components at the same time. Adding Giro disk two piece rotors up front, stoptech slotted in the in rear, upgraded lines, better pads etc.
FWIW: I replaced the rotors (ATE), pads (Akebono), and brake fluid (Pentosin) last year, which cost me $291 and was not difficult at all.
I just (like Friday) got slotted StopTechs for the front. I got Hawk pads and can confirm they stop the Fiesta in a timely manner. Outside of the silly blow-off valve, the only modifications I have done have been StopTech rotors front and rear.
Centric blanks. You don’t even need cryo treatment unless you’re doing autocross.
Personally I really like the StopTech Slotted rotors. The slots do nothing to help braking performance but they do help keep the face of the pads flat.
I have etc red and they work, but I used Zimmerman rotors and never again. Don't go cheap
Just noticed yesterday my front rotors are pretty scored too - got a screw in my tire and the repair shop commented on the rotors too.
