Owner reviews for brake discs

My CRV and Odyssey are on Bosch rotors and pads from rockauto. They’re great thus far. Only complaint is that I ended up using pad clips from Honda because the Bosch ones didn’t fit as good on the CRV but were excellent on the Oddy.

Have been putting r1concept rotors on my vehicles for 10 years. Corolla, lexus is 250, ford f150, saab 9-3, volvo xc 90. Have always gotten drilled/slotted braking performance seems to be twice as good. The last few cars I know I got my geomet rotors and ceramic pads. But 8 years ago got rotors on my lexus. Felt great never really had a problem. I was showing off in the back roads of wv, super hill, county roads. Maybe a 20 minute drive and I did have the car filled with people. Hit 95 mph a couple times. Everything was fine got back parked, my back rotors were smoking for atleast 10 minutes very visible. Still never had any issues after that. That is apparently super common. Not cause for too much concern. Never had it with any other vehicle any other time. I speed excisively. Just saying if you intend to use them for a track car I'd wanna be aware of that. Who knows if the geomet rotors would've improved things.

Just bought some brembo rotors and pads for the front. Oil filter and a rear windscreen wiper blade for $289 AUD.

I used Zimmerman rotors and ATE ceramic pads all purchased from fcpeuro.com. With stock pads I could wash the car and within two days they would be brown from brake dust. Now I can go weeks before I start to notice that there may be a little dust.

With the ceramic pads I cannot tell a difference in braking, I have almost no brake dust, and the rotors still look like new.

Went with Brembo UV coated rotors so they won't get rusty. Then, for pads, I went with EBC Reds on the front and Wagner ceramic on the rears. Stopping power is just like OEM pads without the awful awful awful brown brake dust. Night and day difference with the brake dust. Wheels look great for a longer time.

I use ebc slotted rotors with red stuff pads for my dailies

I have stop tech slotted rotors, EBC green stuff pads, ECS stainless steel lines.. (custom SBK) I like them a lot and have had a couple shops tell me they like them to .. need to do legit fluid and I’ll be set.

Front Brake discs Borg & Beck left and right:

7 series £157.04 ( BBD7003S+BBD7004S)

5 series £106.02 ( BBD7005S)

Zimmermann discs are great, pads are up to your driving style. Just a note, if you choose any of the EBC pads on FCP go with the yellowstuff. I've had redstuff and they did not hold up well on spirited runs.

Recently needed front discs on my Astra VXR and just the parts were £2500. Apparently Brembo only made that part for that car so they’re rare. Managed to find them privately with front and rear pads for £820 plus a couple hundred to my local garage to fit them and some other bits.
