Brake discs Bosch or Raybestos

I've had good experience with Bosch Quietcast and Raybestos Element3

Raybestos R-300 for rotors and Akebono ProACT for pads. Almost no dust, no brake fade and the right price. Everyone recommends the PowerStop stuff, but they wear fast and are noisy.

Blank discs work just fine, I've been using raybestos and they've been pretty good so far

I'm running some Raybestos R300 rotors from Rockauto no issues.

It came with 345mm front brakes, having a CC 4-Motion with 345/310 brakes with EBC reds and Tyrol sport guides we wanted the same confident braking in the GTI so we swapped in the 310mm rear brakes/lines. EBC red pads front and rear Bosch rotors front and rear

Anyways based off your post history looks like you’re in Sauga, so you can probably go to Parts Avatar. Place an online order and drive over there to pick it up at their warehouse.

The Budget Plan:

Rotors - Raybestos Element 3 980952FZN

Wagner Pads, Bosch QC Rotors. Duralast pads are made by Durago, available on RockAuto. They’re nothing special but they work fine. I like Wagner brakes, other good options include Bosch, Centric and Reybestos. For materials; Ceramic will be quieter and less dusty. Semi-metallic usually have higher fade point but are noisier and let off a fair it more dust which coats your wheels. I’ve been having good luck with the Bosch Quietcast rotors. Advice High Carbon are probably actually be the best option but are one of the more expensive options. Raybestos coated also seem to hold up decently and are a little cheaper. Just avoid anything drilled or slotted it just acts as a cheese grater and acts as less surface area for the pads to grab.

When it comes to rotors and pads, Bosch Quiet Cast are much better than anything else I've tried in 25 years of XJ ownership.

I think it comes down to the composition of rotor itself, the resilience of the coating and probably manufacturing process, they seem to last and perform a lot better than even the other premium coated rotors I've tried over the years. Similar to OEM German car rotors, they still look like new even after multiple Canadian winters.

I like the Raybestos E3 coated rotors but I'm in the rust belt. Stops the hat and edges+vanes from rusting for a couple years. The E3 pads use to be good but they changed the formula and moved from China to India and the last couple sets have squeeled during braking when hot or in reverse so I would personally recommend Advics or Akebono ceramic.

I got those Raybestos Element 3 rotors and they immediately warped. I didn't bother buying anything else, but just had them turned and they are good enough now.
