I rebuilt the RS3 calipers in Lapiz Blue and ended up using TT-RS Girodisc rotors due to the Golf R hub being a slightly different offset. Great pedal feel!
Pros: Great pedal feel

Girodisc rotors are awesome and well proven across many vehicle brands.
Pros: awesome, well proven

Just finished installing these. Added EBC blue stuff and APR lines. Motul 600 fluid. I should add I did the same in the back but just went with one-piece stoptechs. notes: they are awesome and to top it off they do look amazing.
Pros: awesome, look amazing
Cons: 19 inch wheels required

I used Zimmerman rotors and ATE ceramic pads all purchased from fcpeuro.com. With stock pads I could wash the car and within two days they would be brown from brake dust. Now I can go weeks before I start to notice that there may be a little dust.
With the ceramic pads I cannot tell a difference in braking, I have almost no brake dust, and the rotors still look like new.
Pros: less brake dust, rotors look new

I run Apr front rotors with yellow stuff pads on my mk 7 GLI and it’s such an improvement in track day performance
Pros: improved track performance

I have a non-pp GTI and threw on Centric blank rotors and powerstop z23 pads from Rockauto. Cost around $400 CAD including shipping and tax..super cheap.
No complaints about them, I would certainly buy them again. Very little brake dust but with a strong bite.
Pros: low dust, strong bite

I went with Zimmermann discs for their cost and have had no issues with them.
Pros: good cost, no issues

My Golf R's brakes look like this as well. I have 10K + miles on them but they have been like this since 2-3K miles. I'll say it's "normal". Even though i haven't experienced it with other cars that i can recall.
Cons: brakes look scored

Since I installed the StopTech slotted brake rotors on my 2013 Golf R last winter, every time I've driven in the rain, after cruising long enough such that the brakes get "cold," as soon as I mash on the brake pedal, there is no stopping power whatsoever. Once the brakes "heat up" the response and stopping power are as what I'd expect. On a dry day, this does not happen at all - the brakes are firm and the stopping response is exactly what I'd expect.
Pros: good response when warm, firm on dry days
Cons: no stopping power in rain, no power when cold
