I bought the rotors from Napa to save some money as well. Keep in mind your existing brake shield will not fit after the upgrade. You can run your car without them fine but if you want them, you'll have to buy the ones for the Sport. I got a pretty bad wheel shake after upgrading and still not sure if it's related to the upgrade. Haven't ironed it out 100% but very happy with the stopping power
Pros: great stopping power
Cons: wheel shake
I used the Akebono pads because Scotty Kilmer recommended them and they are made in America. No complaints so I’ll probably buy them again.
Pros: no complaints
My preference is either OEM, or Brembo rotors and Akebono pads. I have had good performance on multiple cars with the Akebono ProACT ceramic pads.
Pros: good performance
Ceramic Akebono. Never had a problem with them, and they last you a long time
Pros: long lasting, reliable
I kept hearing good things about Akebono. Had been using random brands for years. I switched to Akebono and was blown away how much less brake dust is on my rims!
Pros: less brake dust
For Dodge products I use 3 companies only. 1: adaptive one ceramic pads and coated rotors from Napa 2: akebono pads and coated rotors (I get mine from world pac but they’re not a retail supplier), or 3: straight from the dealer. These are the only options I’ve used consistently with no noise complaints.
Pros: no noise complaints
Hey OP! I bought those exact ones for my 2013 MK6 Jetta 2.5 SE and they work and look great on my car
Pros: work great, look great
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I bought used ones on eBay. Came out nice but they were kinda rough.
Pros: came out nice
Cons: kinda rough
I hate akebono pads. They last a long time but feel like crap and don't stop the car nearly as well.
Pros: long lasting
Cons: poor stopping power, bad feel
Vehicle:
BMW
