i have this setup actually.. on my 2.0. zimmerman crossdrilled and ebc greenstuff. the concensus is that for most city and highway driving, solid rotors are best, more braking surface = better stopping. however, my setup really BITES for 10.1" rotors... i just m ainly got the crossdrilleds for looks
Although it is just an 8V, I run my GTi hard at autocross and road race events. I still have the 9.4\" brakes up front. I just upgraded with SS lines, ATE super blue fluid, ATE power disks, and a ceramic compound pad. They stop great and have not shown any signs of fade.
OK. Thanks for all the responses!! I replaced the rear rotors (with new Tar-Ox ones) myself, 18 months ago. I bought new ABS Rings for both sides and fitted them to the disks in the way described in the Bentley manual. I've just had a feel behind the rotors and they don't seem to have come loose or anything...
I upraded from mintex red pads and stock rotors to hawk hps pads and brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors and what a world of difference.
I have Ate rotors and Mintex Redbox on my Golf 2.0 and it stops well...no brake dust and the bite is much better than stock pads although it could still use a lot of improvement though.
I'll put it to you this way, you will need brakes when you are done with the track session. I warped several sets of rotors on my old 2.0 Golf during track days.
I have a Golf 2.0 GL replaced front brakes with ATE rotors and Mintex Reds this time last year.
