So I need to do a full brake service (rotors, pads, fluid) on my car, and I chose Centric Premium plain rotors. But when I got them I saw that they were made in China. Nothing againts China, but I would preffer brakes made in the US/Europe/Japan. So I ordered some EBC Premium plain rotors. When I received the EBC rotors I compared them to the Centric out of curiosity, and found that the EBC are 2 lbs lighter(EBC 14.6 lbs, Centric 16.4 lbs), but they seem to have better cooling. The space between the plates (where the veins go) is wider on the EBC.
So now I don't know which rotors I should use. Other than being a daily driver, I use my '10 Civic Si, to head out to the mountains for some spirited driving (7/10ths driving). Need some feedback. What would you do?
Centric - more mass, made in China
EBC - better cooling, less un-sprung weight, made in the UK
Here are some pics. (Last pic is EBC, second to last is Centric)
