Brake discs Brembo or STOPTECH

GTI rebuilt front caliper conversion with drilled Brembo rotors and pad

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 had Stoptech slotted rotors and EBC Reds for three or four years now. They've been great!

StopTech Sport Slotted rotors have taken a ton of abuse for me and I can't recommend them highly enough

No complaints about the Brembo's on my car, on the second set now. Previously used Mintex.

daily driving, you can get a full set of bosch pads from rock auto for ~60$. I like stoptech slotted rotors to help get debris off the pads. they also hold up a bit better than standard blanks. drilled rotors are mostly for looks and can crack much easier under heat unless you are spending big bucks on a high end rotor, which imo isn’t worth the cost.

I have the Stoptech Z23 slotted and drilled rotors with carbon ceramic brake pads. Overall, I’m happy with them. The biggest complaint is that they use undersized brake pads, which is a feature that performance pads have in order to accommodate expansion under high heat. Because they’re undersized, when you brake in the opposite direction that you brakes last, they will “click” as they shift slightly inside the caliper. They don’t do it while driving unless you change direction, but I would have considered less aggressive pads if I knew they would do this. That said, I have had zero issues and great braking performance in spirited driving and emergency braking, over the last 45K miles or so.

I upgraded to stoptech drilled rotors with the posi quiet pads. I'm happy with the performance on street for spirited driving, and they create much less dust than my old Hawk HPS pads.

NAPA now carries brembo catalog. I ask for a price to see if they can even come close to FCP euro. some brembo 2 piece rotors for my car is what I had them run.

I bought Brembo rotors from tirerack for my Toyota sienna. They warped shortly after.
