Brembo Brake discs

Rating 4.5

Bought new 2004 Sienna XLE Braun handicapped conversion with 240K miles still going strong but only 14 mpg. Another 2004 Sienna Limited bought used in 2013 w/130K miles now 210K miles. I’ve replaced the suspension on both, added 3rd generation Big Brake calipers, Pads (use Akebono or Advics) and rotors (Fremax, Brembo, or Raybestos in order of quality) to get better braking, see SiennaChat for details.

Pros: better braking, going strong
Cons: low mpg
Vehicle: Toyota Sienna
Mileage: 210000 km

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
Vehicle: Lexus ES

If you have no interest to do anything other than normal driving r1 concepts will work. If you so much as do a little "spirited driving" they will bake and turn into crappy brownies. And refuse any type of refund even with 500 miles on them. I honestly preferred OEM. They lasted a nice long time, minimal noise, and they were actually really nice on track

Pros: OEM lasted long, minimal noise
Cons: bake, crappy, no refund
Mileage: 500 km

I have a 2008 Kia ProCeed and last year in April I changed front brake discs and pads. They were the most expensive parts I could get and are from Brembo which I know as being a good manufacturer of brakes. Anyway, after 6 months I started experiencing vibrations under braking which only grew stronger over time. I had the brakes checked at my local mechanic and he noticed both front discs were warped.

Cons: vibrations under braking, discs warped
Vehicle: Kia
Mileage: 15000 km
