Brake discs Brembo or Raybestos

I went with Brembo rotors and Powerstop pads. So far so good.

You need at least a high carbon vented disc like Brembo if using ceramic pads

Of course Brembo is reliable.

I got a set of G63 Brembo rotors at Autozone for 10% of dealer list.

GTI rebuilt front caliper conversion with drilled Brembo rotors and pad

Look at raybestos R300 rotors. I use them on my wrx. They’re slotted with squiggles so they look cool, while not being drilled so they won’t crack. They also are apparently have higher carbon content so they Lee supposed to be able to handle heat better. They’re reasonably priced available on rock out and stuff. Then I use hawk HPs. A Good set of Pads will make a much bigger impact for you

I installed Raybestos high carbon front rotors and Raybestos Element 3 rears on mine and they've been great. I'm using the Raybestos Element 3 pads as well.

My E39 rotors have lasted forever. They’re Brembo from rock auto with Aki Bono pads. Run the same set up on both of our E46’s as well

I’ve been using Brembo for my E39. Just be careful that there are lower tier for Brembo, it is still original Brembo but without anti-corrosion coating. It got corroded after a month or so. The one that got coated is slightly more expensive but I’d go for that next time.

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.
