This is the combination that worked for me - Akebono 370z calipers - 2 piece floating DBA rotors w/ aluminum hats - Winmax W6 pads - 3" ducts from front bumper to backside of the hubs. An advantage to the aluminum hats is it really reduced heat transfer into the hubs, improving the life of the bearings. The floating design helps prevent warping and cracking from the stress of all the thermal cycling.

Pros: reduced heat transfer, prevents warping

Raybestos Brake discs

Anyways based off your post history looks like you’re in Sauga, so you can probably go to Parts Avatar. Place an online order and drive over there to pick it up at their warehouse.

The Budget Plan:

Rotors - Raybestos Element 3 980952FZN

Pros: Budget plan
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Part number: 980952FZN

Raybestos Brake discs

Raybestos Element3 rotors are the best all around choice for brakes imo, got em on my 2010 ranger and my 2014 Mini, if you aren't driving like it's a racecar they're 10/10

Pros: best all around, 10/10

I like the Raybestos E3 coated rotors but I'm in the rust belt. Stops the hat and edges+vanes from rusting for a couple years. The E3 pads use to be good but they changed the formula and moved from China to India and the last couple sets have squeeled during braking when hot or in reverse so I would personally recommend Advics or Akebono ceramic.

Pros: rust prevention
Cons: squealing brakes

I bought new set of rotors DBA 5000 T3, (floating rotors) and paired them with ebc rp1 pads. I have rbf600 fluid (around 1,5y old) and braided brake lines. Car is 370z.

Did the bedding in procedure, all good. Rotors have 300km, all works perfectly.

Today i went to a track day and did several very powerful brakings, but also did a cool down lap. And on that first stint, my pedal got soft. Ok, fluid will change.... But stopping in the paddock, the brakes were smoking a bit. I immediately rushed out and did a few km outside, cca 80-90kmh to cool the brakes down. Worked well, they were cool. But then i checked paint markings, all changed colors, indicating rotors exceeded 630°C.

And that was one short stint. So later when i drove, i was very gentle, all good...but i feel slight judder around 120kmh, and when i brake, the steering wheel shakes a bit.

Did i really manage to ruin completely new rotors in ONE stint?

Pros: works perfectly initially
Cons: pedal got soft, brakes smoking
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 300 km
