Green, Been Using Stop Techs Exclusively. Been using Stop Tech rotors for a long time on my MKIII.
Pros: using for a long time
Get some slightly more aggressive pads and GOOD OEM blank rotors i.e. Brembro. Do SS lines ATE super blue fluid or whatever the current offering is (they can't do blue anymore).
Pros: more aggressive pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Go with good solid OE quality coated rotors, and a low dust pad like Zimmerman and Akebono, Brembo, etc. You'll probably never push the limits of the stock brakes if youre not tracking the car.
Pros: good solid OE quality
Cons: slotted eat pads
Vehicle:
BMW
I recently put on slotted and drilled Power Stop Z23 rotors and brakes on all 4s. they’re quite sturdy and perform very well.
Pros: sturdy, perform very well
for the street I've found the basic RockAuto/Centric shit to be perfectly fine. Even basic Centric blanks can handle track use at (admittedly pathetically low) stock power.
Pros: perfectly fine, handles track use

I've had the EBC reds up front with the larger A8 rotors. No dust, no vibrations and they have lasted a long time.
Pros: no dust, no vibrations, lasted long
Vehicle:
Audi A8
I also did the upgrade (after thoroughly reading the golfdave thread), as I hated how grabby and sticky the stock brakes were. For me, it was totally worth it. The larger front rotors have made the brakes way more linear and easy to modulate. The extra thermal capacity is just a bonus.
Pros: more linear, easy modulate
Cons: grabby and sticky

Volkswagen Golf
I've had them on my car a few months , I had to had a shim yo clear my rotors between caliper and bracket the rubbed his enough to annoy me and the peddle feels sponge but I also have stock brakes lines which expand and also haven't bleed my system completely plus i have a leaky master cylinder... So yes they work for me..
Pros: they work
Cons: sponge pedal, rotors rubbed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Brought mine into dealership, the service advisor said they manufacture these rotors out of softer material now so they don't warp down the road. The softer material downside is that they wear faster. I don't believe that at all. If they wear faster, wouldn't it be more even wear and not scored lines in there??
Pros: softer material prevents warping
Cons: wears faster, causes scoring
