So my wife drove the car without me today (sort of a big deal as she just managed to transfer her driving license to a Japanese one, and she hasn’t really driven much since she acquired her license more than a decade ago), and she managed to drive a fair distance with the emergency brake on. After about 10 minutes she noticed a squealing sound.
My question is regarding rear rotors and pads:
Are the rear rotor & pads for a 2.5i (2006) sedan sold in the USA different from the parts for a 2.0i sedan sold in Japan?
There are some cheap rotor and pad sets available from Amazon.com that I’m guessing will be cheaper than parts here in Japan. ( I’m a bit curious about a brand called Power Stop.)
I’d actually love to get some stainless rotors ( to cut down on the rusting that happens after every rain, and it’s really bad after typhoons) , but that’s probably going to be too expensive.
For your time:

I’ve use a lot of powerstop rotors and pads, and never had a complaint about them. Even used them on the ‘Vette’s for street driving. I recommend.

2nd this. I had them on my truck, which did a lot of towing/hauling, they held up excellent and gave me fade free braking even with 10k lbs behind me in stop and go traffic.
Go for the drilled and slotted if they’re available with good pads.

I third (fourth?) this. I put PowerStops on my WRX a few months ago. They get the job done.
