I got the powerstop set for the front. Heavy duty drilled/slotted rotors, nice pads and new calipers for 200 bucks.
Pros: heavy duty, nice pads

I've always had good luck with the coated Centric rotors I've gotten from RA. No warping, good corrosion resistance.
Pros: no warping, corrosion resistant
I've done the Centric e-coat rotors and ceramic pads from Rock Auto on 4 of my vehicles over the years and have been very happy. Rotors don't turn into a ball of rust after getting wet once, let alone thru a salty Midwest winter. Pads seem to have good bite and consistent stopping power (1 set was on my old Mazda3) and no noise or dust.
Pros: good bite, no noise, no dust
I added in spark plugs and brake rotors and pads too since I was on factory brakes still. Brakes could have probably lasted another 15K miles but they’re 5 years old, lasted 100K miles
Pros: lasted 100K miles
Cons: brakes 5 years old

Had great luck with the Centric Premium rotors and the Power Stop Z23 pads, which have good bite and no dust.
Pros: good bite, no dust
A friend got quoted too much for a brake job while I was visiting out of state and they were only going to turn the rotors. So, I volunteered to do the job. All I had was the spare jack and tire iron. I bought a set of wrenches and a cheap c-clamp from HF to do the job. Yup, sure have a ton of the right tools at home. This just got-r-done. Buttery smooth brakes with new Centric rotors!
Pros: Buttery smooth brakes
Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads pair up nicely, all from FCP euro
Pros: pair up nicely
I went with hawk rotors and pads I think the Lts pads they feel way nicer then the old one stuff.
Pros: nicer feel
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 4828 km
Our rear rotors are garbage. The front seem fine but i can see rust marks for where my pads rest when i park it for the weekend. Im researching our incredibly limited options on rear rotors at the moment.
Cons: rear rotors are garbage
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
