Buy DBA rotors and Bendix GCT pads from any SuperAutoCo- they have a great service life, make minimal dust and won’t warp on you.

Pros: great service life, minimal dust

Cons: may warp

I'm running DBA T3 Rotors with Powerstop Z26 Street Warrior Pads. I love the DBA rotors and had them on my previous Genesis Coupe. The Rotors aren't cheap with but worth it IMO.

Pros: worth it

Cons: rotors aren't cheap

Was literally checking out these rotors for our FJ Cruiser, a lot of other FJ owners use the T2 and T3 rotors but I really wanted to avoid a slotted rotor due to dust and wear concerns. Have a set of DVA XP pads in the meantime.

Pros: avoid slotted rotor

Cons: dust and wear concerns

Vehicle: Toyota FJ Cruiser

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
