Rear Brake Discs - Which Brand?

Post by idej_z4 » Tue May 30, 2023 3:48 pm

I'm going to replace my rear brake discs as the ones fitted need replacing - I don't want any drilled or grooved versions, I'm just looking for the best standard discs. There seem to be a lot of options in terms of brands (Bosch, Brembo, Pagid etc) but which is either the best or will get me closest to OEM.

Thanks!!

I'm not sure as to what I have on the Z now but Ive had Powerstop on my Tacoma and have had no trouble/issues at all. They are reasonably well priced also.

Halfords still have the offer on Pagid discs and pads, just done my fronts for £57.28 they were a good fit and seem to stop well.

I dont think it matters too much what brand of disc you get if it follows manufactures spec, the only thing I would say is opt for the "Coated" discs to stop the hub and edges from rusting as they look positively singing after a few years when they get all crusty and rusty. Coated discs will keep them looking pretty for longer.

I have gone for the Brembo coated discs and ATE Ceramic pads as apparently they are supposed to be low dust and work the same as OEM.
