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 like the duralast gold brake rotors. They have a really nice coating to help prevent corrosion, if you’re in the north east I really recommend them. They do need to be bedded once installed to get rid of the coating on the braking surface of the rotor. You pretty much just get the car up to 20mph and hit the brakes a little aggressive, you do this a few times each time increasing your speed. It comes with clear instructions how to do it.

Pros: nice coating, prevents corrosion

Cons: needs bedding

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

That's likely the lowest possible grade of rotors I've seen in a while. Lathe marks are too rough, and the casting is bad.

Cons: lowest grade, rough lathe marks, bad casting
