Owner reviews for brake discs

I'll stick with my reliable 14y.o. Gen 5 grand caravan. 275k without any major issues other than it ate brake rotors until I switched to drilled and slotted rotors.

I use Centric Cryo-Treated 125s on my Brembo swapped VA WRX. They are a great rotor and have held up really well over the 20k miles that I have been running them. They still look almost brand new, which is crazy considering what they have been through.

Got DBA T3 4000 rotors on sale from tire rack a couple weeks ago for cheaper than the T2s. Hawk HP 5.0 pads and I'm very happy with the results.

I went with DBA street series with hawk pads. No complaints after 2 yrs of daily. Street Series feels more OEM+.

I did Zimmerman crossed drilled for the front & Brembo cross drilled on the backwith Akebono pads. Absolutely love the look & performance.

Zimmermann has been my go-to, but any of the fully coated options would work fine. I would avoid the uncoated ones as they rust to shit fairly quickly.

Totally NOT recommending Brembo, totally recommending ATE disks with ATE pads with Ceramic, even cheaper but **much much** better than Brembo, from all standpoints

I had similar issues with my girodsics when I got them. The bigger issue was the rotors were hitting the top of the caliper and SCREAMING even when I wasn’t braking. I got in contact with Girodisc and they sent me some more spacers to push the caliper away from the rotor a bit more.

They sent me fake photos of grovved rotors and broken breaks and were charging 1400$ I declined them about changing it then they removed all the photos and details in the report so they won’t get caught when I showed it to my other mechanic everything was fine.

Power stop is ass. Have had their rotors develop tons of micro cracks before
