Brake pad and rotor replacement that I recommend....

I replaced my rotors and pads 2 weeks ago and wanted to share my experience with my choices and results. I purchased AKEBONO pads all around and Centric Premium rotors. These have made a world of difference in comparison to stock pads and rotors. The brakes have a nice bite to them and have very consistent braking pressure while increasing brake pedal pressure. The stock brakes felt that they were soft with a 20% to 50% brake pedal push. So if your changing them, these worked wonders. These were from rock auto.com

I'm due for a brake change, how did this combo hold up?

Only asking cause I just warped my OEM rotors with Akebono pads.

I have used centric rotors before but they rusted and I hated that look. Also, these aren't that much cheaper than OEM so might just go back to that if the longevity/reliability isn't great.

Thanks!

For those who still believe real racer use slotted or drilled rotors:

Le Mans endurance racing Audi R8:

Indi:

Formula 1 (carbon fiber though):

Dakar Hilux trucks have solid rotors: no pic of that sry.
