Owner reviews for brake discs

I just did mine. I put on raybestos rotors and akebono pads. Stopping power is significantly better the the OE rotors and pads I took off. SIGNIFICANTLY.

I changed to Brembo drilled rotors and Pagid pads and the problem has gone away completely on both cars, now at 20K miles since the change.

I’ve got the R1 concept drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads, felt a decent difference from the OEM but my rotors and pads were at about 35% life so it makes sense that I’d feel a good difference. I do some spirited driving around town and the brakes perform pretty great.

I really like the DBA T2 rotors with their street pads. Great setup and didn't break the bank.

Galfer Wave Rotors and MTX Braking Red Pads. Upgraded my Switchblade to 203mm front and rear and added in a set of Red Pads and my SRAM Code R now stop like XTR but have great modulation.

After 160k miles, finally changed the brake rotors. Got the Bosch Quietcast rotors and paired it with the Bosch Quietcast brake pads. Was a pretty simple project, and would highly recommend! Haven’t heard a squeak or anything. Definitely “quiet.”

I used a 17 Camry SE. Get the Eibach eccentric bolts and sent it with -1.75 camber. It'll really help the car put down some good power.

Get some good tires and brakes and you will be able to tackle downhills all day even at 3200 lbs. I had DIXCEL heat treated rotors all around. Make sure the front brakes have less bite to get that snap on turn in.

I personally have had great results with power stop. Especially on my ‘11 f-150 when towing. The heavy duty towing rotors exceeded my expectations for the price.

on my SELP with 18K miles, the rear rotors were pulsating and shuddering at high speeds and I know exactly what caused it, coming over a mountain pass, but NOT riding the brakes. Anyway, the disc surafces looked ok but 2/3 of the pads had gone. Changed out with Pagid pads and Brembo rotors - we\u2019ll see how that goes. BTW removing the caliper is a PITA the triplle hex bolts were are very very tight. On my SE with 38k miles front pads were down to last remaining 1mm\u2026. Yeah I should have checked them a while back. Both front rotors on both cars are heavily grooved, but no signs of deposits. Put Pagid pads in the fronts. On the SE I have just ordered Brembo cross drilled rotors for the rear. I thought I would just share this info and given more evidence of how these Arteon\u2019s eat pads and rotors wear wise and are easy to distort.

My rotors needed changing at 30k miles- down to 2mm and failed inspection.
