Brake discs Raybestos or EBC

I’m running Raybestos rotors (good warranty and price) with Stoptech Sport pads and I like the brakes quite a bit.

I priced out parts at $201 + S&H for premium raybestos rotors and pads at all 4 corners for a 2012 outback 2.5l on rockauto. Will be better than new for less than half the price.

On the other one i just pulled the trigger on ebc slotted rotors And the red stuff pads.

I have ebc slotted rotors and yellow stuff pads they make a huge difference. Especially when it comes to heat.

Yeah I had to personally cut 2 pairs of slotted EBC rotors brand new on account of pulsation, the front already has EBC slotted rotors and red stuff pads which stop excellent, the difference was night an day.

Completed, - Rear EBC rotors and pads

I've been running slotted and cross-drilled rotors on my A4 for 5 years. I've never had one crack, but I don't autocross. For my latest set I looked for drilled, but not slotted, rotors because my last set buffeted at high-speed braking, which feels shaky and unstable, and I read that was because of the slots.

The stock front rotors have fairly significant heat spots and slight warping. I do mostly spirited street driving with some track use but obviously heat dissipation has been an issue, given how hefty the car is. Looking to upgrade the rotors and pads to more performance oriented options while hoping to keep the level of noise and dust relatively low.

EBC stuff is crap ATE is the gangster.
