Wife's car needs new brakes, what are recommended brands. Thinking about getting these. DFC Brakes
Any reasons not to buy them?

I've been using Powerstop for the past decade or so.   They've been better than the Autozone Gold that I had used previously.  I'm not familiar with DFC.

Another Power Stop fan. I don’t think they are necessarily the “best” but they are as good as anything else on the market for normal use. If you are racing, towing heavy, or other extreme use, yeah I’d probably look at something else. But for normal people and 99.9% of what we do, they are fine.

I always use their fully coated rotors (and drums when I had a vehicle with drum brakes). I don’t like rusty rotors. Definitely use their fully coated rotors if you live in the rust belt. But, I’d use them regardless of where I live.

I just did my brakes with Powerstop.  Good, no issues.

But I've also used Centric, Asvence Auto Parts Platinum, and others without issues either

Dynamic friction has a good reputation, you'll be fine.
