I used Wagners on my Scion and was astouded at how well the car stopped.

Then I put Centric Pro-Quiet semi-metallics on my Accent and discovered how poorly my Scion stops. :D

Raybestos hybrid technology seem to be pretty good. I had them on my last car and just installed them on my 2011 Sonata. They need some break in time but after a few good stops they bite pretty good and get better when warmed up. I use centric rotors with the black coating on the hubs. 2 rotors and the raybestos pads were less than $140 shipped from rockauto

I used the Centric mid-grade rotors with the black ceramic as well.

But I beat you: ~$80 for the rotors and pads from RA, but then I have an Accent.

I think they were $20 from Rock Auto, but beware: when I asked the Hyundai dealer about installing the KYB struts I bought at the same time, they said No Go. If they had ordered them they would have installed them.

But pads and rotors are easy. Struts suck.

I just put EBC Greens on the Sonata and broke em in per the EBC manual. Very grippy at current temps and environment.

Dust heavily during break in (2-300 miles; special break in compound on pad surface) but have similar to ever so slightly less dusting as OEM after compound is worn off.

I also put new EBC plates on at the same time as turning rotors never gives me the desired feel and longevity to judder.


It went from oh my is this stupid car going to slow down to alRIGHT lets do an Endo with a car! Very very satisfied with initial bite and warm pad bite. Pretty surprised at how little they dust compared to what I read on reviews. Wife even stated it was a good upgrade. But I mean really, crappy OEM pads versus specialized pads...should be no contest there.

It wasn't cheap. I don't like to skimp in the tire and brake department and have had a lot of good luck with EBC parts.


Front pads were 79 and plates were 9X a piece. I did the work and it was like 260-270 for the front. More than most people want to spend for an axle. Dealer wanted 130 for pads only; no resurfacing the rotor face for comparison.


I wanted EBC plates because it is NOT Chinese steel. That's a huge requirement for me. I was outta luck for the back. EBC does not make them for the back (plates).

In the past I have used Wagner Thermo-Quiet ceramic pads and have hod good luck with them.

I have also used AutoZone Duralast in the past and have had pretty good luck with them also. But they are more expensive at almost twice the cost.
