I am a big fan of Centric 120-series brake rotors and either Akebono ProAct or EBC RedStuff pads.

I use Centric Cryo-Treated 125s on my Brembo swapped VA WRX. They are a great rotor and have held up really well over the 20k miles that I have been running them. They still look almost brand new, which is crazy considering what they have been through.

Pros: great rotor, held up well, look almost brand new

Vehicle: Subaru

Mileage: 20000 km

As others said, rockauto for parts. CENTRIC rotors are considered the best. Pad choice will only affect brake dust levels for street driving.

Pros: rotors considered the best

Cons: brake dust levels

I used Centric Premium rotors on my last Jeep XJ which is notorious for marginal brakes and they were good. I did bed them in per instructions, they got smoky, stinky hot.

Pros: good performance

Vehicle: Jeep

Yes. I previously replaced my OEM brakes with Centric rotors bought from Rock Auto then recently went with Brembos due to the warranty.

Cons: short warranty

It looks like you got the C-tek ones, which don't have any protective coating on the non-wear surfaces, which is why you see the rust.

Cons: no protective coating

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan
