What are good brands for rotors and pads?

I will be needing a brake job in a few months and would like to know what some good name brands are for rotors and pads. Thanks

We recommend ROTORA or STOPTECH rotors combined with Hawk, ROTORA, STOPTECH, or EBC pads.

PM me with your vehicle info and zip code and what you need and we can give you a quote.

Any comments on Rotora Ceramic H2 Pads? I'm considering pairing them up with the Rotora rotors.

Id go with Rotora rotors. I wish I went with them over the R1 Concepts I bought, They warped in a little over a year. And ive read alot of good things about Rotora rotors, id go with slotted F&R. And id stay away from drilled/slotted cuz they are more prone to warping, so just go with slotted rotora rotors and id go with Axxis metal master pads. I also had EBC Redstuff pads, and the Axxis work better, the EBC pads glazed over very quickly and squeaked like a mofo.

You could probably do F&R Rotors, Pads and 2piston Ledgend Calipers for about $700, or you can buy a Fastbrakes Wilwood 12.6" Front BBK for $750(which is what I would do)

I had EBC slotted and drilled rotors with Greenstuff pads.They were decent.
Don't think I wud go for drilled ones.I already bought EBC Ultimax Slotted rotors with Satisfied GS6 pads.Just waiting for sunny days and I'll install my setup.

I wud suggest EBC rotors for sure or R1 concepts with Greenstuff pads.
Another unique Rotor set is DBA 4000XS with good reviews.
