Brake discs Brembo or POWER STOP
Nice, I order the power stop kit from ecstuning non vented worked great and was able to slide out rotors. 26k mikes and rotors were corroded bad.
I did my fronts and have posted the details recently if you search. Got my rotors/pads from Rockauto - $210 delivered. Yes, not a lot of options for the front for whatever reason. I got Powerstop slotted/drilled rotors and Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads. V. easy job - about an hour and a half total taking my time. Amazing results compared to my uneven/\"warped\" stockers. My issue was pulsing slowing from highway speeds.
I used the EVOLUTION GEOMET COATED ROTOR BRAKE KIT from PowerStop on my Gen 1. Worked great, lasted long, lot less brake dust.
I'm running Powerstop drilled and slotted rotors (stock diameter) and their ceramic pads both front and rears and they perform great. I dont track my car but for street use is perfectly fine. The pads have very little brake dust and I don't hear any noise from them either and pedal feel is a bit better than stock to me but just barely. I've had these on since last year without any problems. I also have this brand on my other vehicles..specifically my '99 Subaru 2.5rs...and never had any issues with the brakes at all and it's been 10 yrs. So I'm hoping to get the same results with my R.
For daily use, go for brembo blanks on your rotors. Oem pads are great for that initial bite but HORRIBLE on dust. I would go for akebono ceramic pads. They need a little more time to be warmed up but they’re great imo. Hardly any dust, super quiet, and they do just fine on my occasional canyon runs.
I run PowerStop crossdrilled/slotted anti rust on my Infiniti and my truck. I've used them for a few years and like the braking on them. Have had no issues over 30000 combined miles with the heavy load on the truck and spirited drive of my car. I've also installed the PowerStop OEM grade pads and rotors on some friends cars and they have been very pleased. I also use the PowerStop pads with these setups.
I put Brembo Sport rotors with EBC Red Stuff pads and ATE TYP200 brake fluid. Works great.
Got these on my Corolla, they're actually good for reasonably cheap brakes.
i was on the fence about buying them and i did a bunch of research and after speaking with my buddy who is a mechanic and owns a tundra he said that the powerstop brakes aren't great and if you don't have the money to do the tundra swap, to get the brembo rotors and either akebono or brembo pads. ive been driving with this setup for about six months and have had no issues. the braking feel and stopping power has noticeably improved.
The front rotors were in a box from Zimmerman and rear were from Brembo. Just about from the start the brakes slightly squealed. The noise gradually increased that nearly each time the brakes were stepped on they squealed. After about 2K miles the noise got to the point of being excessive. They squeal in the morning when cool when slowing from 20MPH or warm and hot when slowing from 45+MPH. The only way to make them silent is to slam on them hard, but the next time they will squeal as well. In addition to the noise, the rotors started developing rust on the hub sections.
