On the recommendation of my P-car "guy", I installed Textar rotors and Pagid pads front and rear.
Leading evidence: 'Install textar rotors and pagid pads front and rear' (no explicit attributable resolution; this is a reported action or suggestion). Across 1 matching discussions, the most frequently mentioned possible cause is 'little more of a blanket statement than i intended' (1 discussions; 0 report identifying it and 1 suggest it). The most frequently discussed action is 'Install textar rotors and pagid pads front and rear' (1 discussions). For that action, 0 discussions report a resolution and 0 report an unsuccessful attempt. No action has an explicit, attributable resolution report under the current rules. These are forum reports and suggestions, not a confirmed diagnosis.

The pads and rotors are worn (brake wear light came on as well) and I'd like to replace the pads and rotors at the same time.
Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

Hey guys,
I have a 2000 Aero that I just finished installing PSS10's and TE37's.
The pads and rotors are worn (brake wear light came on as well) and I'd like to replace the pads and rotors at the same time.
I haven't been too impressed with the OEM pads...seem to not have a ton of bite or feed back.
I have had good results with R4S in my other fast road cars. Any reason not to get Porterfields for my c2?
Thanks!
I use EBC red stuff for street but they still lack real bite. Hawk DTC70 and Performance Friction PFC-08 have amazing bite on the track but are a little loud for the street.
Can't go wrong with Stoptech's rotors.
From my experience Ferodo DS2500 is the best all around cross over pad available.
They have excellent bite and modulation, require no special bedding.
Plus the prices are very attractive in comparison to a PFC 11 or 08.

I'm running Sebro slotted rotors all around and have been pretty happy with them. The cross drilled factory rotors cracked on me after a few visits to the track.
Hey guys,
Now you got me worried about cracked rotors. I MAY do an HPDE at a local track one of these days, and it would suck if I cracked a nearly new rotor in the process.
Of the OEM replacement rotors, is there a particular brand I should stick to? On my current rotors I don't see any cracks of any kind but I don't think the car was ever driven very hard.
Thanks!
Triple Black, which pads did you have trouble with?
If the cross drilled are OK (they look awesome) I may look into Sebro cross drilled replacements. Would only move to slotted if I need to.
Cross drilled rotors crack but it's really just small fractures on the surface. You don't even worry about them until they reach the edge of the rotor. If you aren't tracking much you will probably never even get them.
Zimmerman is a highly respected brand as well. The Mehle's definitely seem to be the bargain and I think they are German made as well.
All rotors will crack. Cross drilled, flat, slotted, whatever. There are alternatives to OEM. Some better. Some cheaper. They are all (essentially) the same thing - a big hunk of metal.

Ya but watch out for the Chinese rotors. I had a buddy that tried a set of chinese slotted and they wore out in one track weekend. Wouldn't have been a big deal except they wore out a new pair of Pagid rs19s at the same time.
I don't remember which ones they were (I tried so many before finding this forum) but I went through 100% of the pad material on the front in ONE track day!
Ha! I bet those pads were from China too.
Just because a part is made in China does not make it inferior
Lots of European manufacturers have their parts made in China
Are there cheap low quality parts made in China, Yes.
Are the very high quality parts made in China, Yes
I agree. That was probably a little more of a blanket statement than I intended.
Although my cousin has a sourcing business in China and you definitely have to have a good QA process in place. One time he had an entire run of snowboard bindings fail so he went to the plant to see what the deal was. They had run out of one of the ingredients of the plastic compound and had just substituted for another of the same color. Whoops!
On the recommendation of my P-car "guy", I installed Textar rotors and Pagid pads front and rear. Now a year later, I'm completely satisfied...excellent bite/very progressive, some dusting, and very quiet.
Both Textar and Pagid are TMD Group brands, the world leader in brake components.
