Cost me $260 (parts and labor) to have the 4 Brembo rotors installed and the brakes are working great again. I think I am partially to blame for not bedding the pads properly.
Just wanted to give a heads up for anyone who is interested in swapping your stock front 2012+ Beetle Turbo Brakes with MK7 GTI PP / S3 / R / Clubsport brakes/rotors/pads. The upgrade went well and was worth it, even looks so much better with the larger caliper and rotor.
It is complete. I got the MKVII GOLF R calipers and rotors now on a 2012 Beetle Turbo. Calipers/carriers/pads/rotors for a MKVII PP Package fit fine. Much better bite and brake performance over stock. smooth nice braking. no sounds. pads now bedded in. using factory pads and zimmerman rotors
I have their drilled discs on my TR6. My dream was Ceriani, forks with disc brakes, I still have a new brembo caliper. They are and were a status item.
I currently use StopTech Slotted rotors with Hawk Ceramic Pads and they work great for a daily driver. Initial bite isn't as good as Hawk HPS but the brake dust is low compared to stock pads and HPS.
Also fixed the driver's door switch, replaced the front brake rotors with some Zimmerman drilled ones and new pads all arround. Car feels so much better.
I’m running Raybestos rotors (good warranty and price) with Stoptech Sport pads and I like the brakes quite a bit.
I have the non cryo treated stoptech slotted rotors, they're a great affordable option. I run hawk HPS pads. You have them yourself so you know they're also a great affordable option.
I did Zimmerman/Akebono on my e39 about 3000 mikes ago. My only complaint is the bite. It doesn't have that initial braking force the OEM pads had. It still slows the car down without fail, just a different feel.
I looked at my wife’s Tig and they look bad as well only 3900 miles.
