Centric rotors and Centric PosiQuiet Ceramic Pads... inexpensive and still good performance with minimal brake dust.

Anyone have opinions on Powerstop vs R1 Concepts brakes? Can obviously go OEM or Centric/Akebono combo but just curious if anyone's had better luck with the Powerstop or R1 kits.

Toyota OEM pads. Centric rotors. Been using them for years across multiple models. They work well. Toyota OEMs some bad rotors at times. Centric does a good job at making consistent rotors.

I used parts store stuff and had a death wobble after a few thousand.

Also liked these. Not bad price and nice quality. Only changes because of an unforeseen circumstance that ruined one rotor and pad so had to change them and needed the car next day, so dealership it was.

I second this. I have this combination and they have been great. Probably about 12-15K on them. My t4r is an SR5 so I upgraded to the larger rotors used on the Sport. Got mine, along with new calipers from Rock Auto.

The recommended Centric and Akebono setup from RockAuto comes to around $275 for front (338mm) and rear pads and rotors with hardware. At that price, does it just make more sense to go with another option?

These are all pad/rotor/hardware kits:
-Powertop KOE2422 stock replacement kit ($107)
-Powerstop CRK2422 Evolution coated kit ($194)
-Centric 90444017 coated kit ($156)
-Centric 90644014 ($115)

I know the Centric/Akebono kit is supposed to be great, but at almost $300 it's hard to not consider the above options. Anyone have thoughts on this?

No kidding...about five years ago I had a pair of OEM rotors that were too thin to be turned. The new ones from a parts store weighed less than the old ones.
