My 2013 Pilot is due for a front brake job. I'm usually an Akebono pads & Centric prem. rotors guy but the Raybestos E3 complete kit looks tempting.
Pad-wise, the car calls for ceramic. The Raybestos pads are hybrid. What can be expected by changing materials? Better cold bite but increased rotor wear and noise/dust?
Rotor-wise, I live in the salt belt and the Centric coated rotors hold up well. How is the Raybestos corrosion coating?
The Pilot's heavy and is known for pedal pulsation from beating on the rotors. The Centric rotors have like 55k miles and have just now developed a slight pulsation. The junk OE rotors pulsated at only 15k. Do the Raybestos rotors tend to hold up on heavy vehicles?
