Any input, positive or negative on these?
Doing a brake job on a friend's '06 MCS. She wants less dust, and is a bit tight on budget.
Found the Centric parts on RockAuto and the marketing seems fine (coated rotor hats, low dust ceramic pads, testimonials) but would like to see if any NAM folks have used them.
Other options are the local NAPA shop $360 vs $240 delivered for Centric, and a few other local shops at $310 and $315 (house brands)

TIA

 

I put the plain faced (smooth) Centric Rotors on the rear of my '0-9 when I did brakes at Thanksgiving and put on EBC redstuff pads. the dusting has gone down, but to eliminate dust is going to be a stretch without sacrificing performance IMO. I am actually shopping on rockauto and other vendor site for the exact front rotors I wan tot get before I go back to the Dragon this Summer. I am looking at the EBC redstuff pads and Centric rotors again, just not sure if I want smooth, slotted, drilled, or slotted and drilled.

 

Thanks for the input.
I switched from OEM to Hawk ceramics and the dust was night and day on my white OEM wheels. Haven't noticed any degradation in braking ability but I'll admit I'm not the speed demon I used to be.

 

Centric = Stoptech = Powerslot

All made by the same company and all really great parts. I changed all four of mine to Cross Drilled and slotted rotors and used the Street Performance pads. I am in love with my brake setup.

 

I got powerslot. All I can say is that they are legit. Get the cryos for the extra money and you should be able to get 2 to 3 sets of pads out of them.

 

My local mini guy was having great luck with centric premuium rotors and for a low dust non performance pad, the carquest ceramic pads (said to be akebonoo) are well liked as an oem equivlent, low dust, non track pad...

 

i just put centric blanks on the rear and stoptech drilled on the front with akebono ceramics pads.. working well so far... if you look at one of the main online tire sites they have centric rotors for cheap.. thats where i got all mine

 

They can also be had cheap at Rockauto.com

Gotta watch shipping, split into 2 orders if necessary.
