Brake discs Brembo or STOPTECH

I currently use StopTech Slotted rotors with Hawk Ceramic Pads and they work great for a daily driver. Initial bite isn't as good as Hawk HPS but the brake dust is low compared to stock pads and HPS.

I have the non cryo treated stoptech slotted rotors, they're a great affordable option. I run hawk HPS pads. You have them yourself so you know they're also a great affordable option.

I had StopTech sport slotted cryo-treated rotors on the front and Hawk HPS pads all around. Stopped me every time. Lack of fade coming off the freeway was amazballs. Never warped.

I got the brake pad light at 51K. I knew I'd need new pads and rotors all around. I look at this as a chance to upgrade components at the same time. Adding Giro disk two piece rotors up front, stoptech slotted in the in rear, upgraded lines, better pads etc.

I just (like Friday) got slotted StopTechs for the front. I got Hawk pads and can confirm they stop the Fiesta in a timely manner. Outside of the silly blow-off valve, the only modifications I have done have been StopTech rotors front and rear.

Personally I really like the StopTech Slotted rotors. The slots do nothing to help braking performance but they do help keep the face of the pads flat.

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've run them on three cars. You won't regret them. I'm actually running the 336mm rotors on my c30 right now with a custom caliper setup. Been like that for 2 years with no complaints, and in total I've been running stoptech rotors for 8 years.

Brakes: (front) StopTech 13.5” slotted Frodo, 944 Porsche pads, (rear) VR6 disc from 1996 Golf

My experience with my 2015 - non-PP - is that the pads are about the worst that I have ever experienced. Material transfer on the front rotors was a constant problem...this stopping from 75 mph at the bottom of a long highway ramp...the pulsating changed in sync with how hot the day was and how hard I was using the brakes...I do not drive this car hard. I replaced everything.
