Owner reviews for brake discs

I've recently installed the DBA Street Series - T2 Slotted. Very happy with them so far, early days, but DBA does have a good rep. Priced well too.

I use powerstops and love them. They don't warp and the silver plating on the entire disk didn't rust through. Where I live in Ocean county NJ there are some horrible drivers and these have stood some hard testing.

I've tried 3 brands of rotors just in one year of ownership in my e46. Do Zimmerman. They were my third brand I did. Other 2 warped so damn fast

I like my Zimmerman rotors and akebono pads.

Zimmerman rotors are pretty much the item of choice as far as I know, and I’ve always sworn by Hawk HPS pads if you’re street driving.

A cheaper, easier option for a mild, yet noticeably improved brake upgrade would be to replicate the NB Sport brake package. Some later model NBs got larger stock brakes. Mazda just made extended brake caliper brackets to position the brake caliper further from the center of the wheel hub. This extended length allowed them to fit larger brake rotors and larger brake pads. Larger rotors means more surface area to dissipate heat, and more mass to absorb more heat. Bigger pads means they last longer.

The NB Sport caliper brackets fit on any 1990-2005 Miata. You simply reuse the stock brake calipers. All you need to complete the upgrade is the NB Sport package sized rotors and pads. I run this setup on my 1991 NA. DOT 4 fluid, NB caliper brackets, Centric rotors with StopTech pads. I regularly take the car to a low-speed track and have zero issues with braking performance. This setup performs exceptionally well, and is very cheap compared to any aftermarket brake caliper options.

I just did my front and rears as well here are the fcp euro part numbers. (No brake dust, & feels amazing)

I replaced mine around 55k miles. You’ll be so much happier starting fresh, no shuddering, better braking power.

Yeah, OEM rotors are not up to snuff. I have a '19 6 GT and went with Raybestos Element3 rotors and pads from RockAuto.

Put them on my exes tundra. Followed the break in procedure but they soon developed pulsation, as another commenter said. Wouldn’t get them again.
