Brake discs Centric or GiroDisc

Switching to Centric rotors (Stoptech) and akebono pads. At first I thought the slight pulsing was warped rotors, but sanding the surface of the rotors, made it go away.

Before my StopTech BBK, I ran Centric high carbon blank rotors. They are affordable on Rock Auto, and lasted forever.

Almost every car in our PCA club runs GiroDiscs, even the GT and RS cars. Never heard a single complaint, and love them on my C2 and GT3.

I’m a big fan of centric brand rotors and pads. I’ve used their economy rotors with their premium pads and hardware kits on several cars with excellent results. My in-laws are known to ride on your bumper with enough room to catch a credit card between them and the car in front of them and they’ve had no complaints.

My current brake pad and rotor are a centric blank and csg sprint C1s, and they’re great. Good bite, nice pedal modulation, great cold performance, and won’t overwhelm a daily grind tire. My previous were centric drilled rotors and pmu club racer pads. They were fucking amazing, but on a commute they were totally overkill (and fun) and I felt like they only made sense when I ran R comps. Otherwise it was ABS lights all day.

I've had good luck with either Centric GCX or Power stop Evolution Geo-met coated.

Centric GCX.

Centric (stock) rotors work great. I'm on ferodo ds2500 pads and love them

Centric makes ones that are painted black. I clean them up with brake cleaner and tape off the pad contact area, then use engine enamel spray paint to add an additional coat. I’m up in New England and one winter will do this to rotors. I do the same when I have to replace calipers. Lasts at least 3-4 years In my experience
