I know nobody asked about parts, but I’ve been happy with Brembo and Zimmerman coated rotors, and ATE ceramic pads. They aren’t grabby like the stock setup but don’t seem any less strong. Smoother and easier to modulate.

Pros: smoother, easier to modulate
Cons: not grabby like stock

Brembo Brake discs

I just changed my front rotors and pads recently. I bought Brembo 26300VA000 rotors with Hawk HB616Z.607 pads. In total, I spent $450.89 USD for the fronts alone. It was simple and straightforward to change.

Pros: simple to change, cost effective
Vehicle: Subaru
Part number: 26300VA000

I have a 2016 300h and was actually doing the rotors just today. Idk if the 350 and 300h share braking components but if they do be aware that the rear rotors may need their parking brake adjusted to even be able to get the rotors off. That little rubber grommet has to be at the 6:00 position and you have to inch a gear down to adjust it.

Pros: easy rotor replacement
Cons: parking brake adjustment needed

I went with: Brembo rotors all around 288mm front and 232mm rear Tyrol Sport Front Brake Stiffening kit DFC track pads(similar to Hawk HP) I still need to do SS lines and a fluid change, but my car stops very well for street driving. I will be swapping my pads for Hawk Performance Ceramic's though only due to brake dust.

Pros: car stops very well
Cons: brake dust

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.

Pros: no rust, less brake dust
Mileage: 70000 km

I really hate to say this but you paid way too much for those front brake discs. But I don't understand why these pins were so stuck, mine were rusted just like yours but a couple of bangs with a hammer and steel pin and they just flew out.

Pros: easy to remove
Cons: rusted, stuck pins
Vehicle: Audi A4

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.

Cons: expensive parts

Bought Brembo UV coated rear rotors to specifically replace Bosch ones with rusty hubs - doesn't look good because clearly visible through the rims. After few rainy days I clearly see rust spots on the Brembo rotor hubs... Very disappointed as this was the reason for replacing in the first place - previous ones (Bosch) were only 1y old.

Cons: rust spots on hubs
