Braking:

I went the other way - I've had scary brake fade a number of times on VW/Audis on the track in the past, and I wanted the "once and done" option when I picked up my Golf R earlier this year. So, worked with Achtuning to install a Stoptech ST60 355mm setup on the front, with stoptech rotors, pads, and SS lines all around. Pro Absolutely bulletproof on HPDEs. You simply don't worry about brake temps or soft pedals, you get 100% braking all day long.

Pros: bulletproof on HPDEs, 100% braking

Cons: brake squeal around town

Vehicle: Volkswagen Golf

I ended up getting a kit from urotuning, stop tech cross drilled rotors and stop tech pads. I am very happy with the performance, the cross drilling seems to take care of the poor braking whith the stock rotors in wet conditions. The initial bite is a little less agressive than stock, maybe a different pad would give that back.

Pros: happy with the performance

Cons: less aggressive initial bite

Front rotors are Stoptech slotted with Hawk HT10 pads ~90% life. Rear rotors and pads are OEM quality with ~75% life.

Pros: 90% life, OEM quality

I recently did my rear brakes; all new pads and rotors. I stuck with Oem brand parts; Zimmerman rotors (made in Germany), which were the same brand as the stock ones I took off, looked identical and stock VW pads TRW (Made in USA). Performance wise; I am sure, other pads probably would perform better with lower dust, etc. Mine lasted 16 years and I figured they worked ok, lasting a very long time and I knew the type of performance they were.

Pros: long lasting, known performance

Cons: other pads perform better

Anyway 09 Tig SE and went with Zimmerman Rotors and brembo pads. Alls I have to say is a good choice. Not low end - not super deluxe - assume all Made in Europe. happy with the quality of hwy braking and that’s all that matters for me.

Pros: good choice, happy with quality

Vehicle: Volkswagen Tiguan

Braking:

I'll add that I have used ATE rotors with this coating before on the car before my current daily driver and have had good results here in the rust belt. That's why I bought from them again 4,000 miles ago for new fronts on my current car. As with anything, your mileage may vary. I'm sure one could do much worse or much better for daily driver front brake rotors.

Pros: good results in rust belt

Mileage: 6437 km

Some people will get an error when trying to get their xenons to go into adaptation mode. I played with my setup and got a MIL. My rear level sensor is a good bit off, so it throws my xenons off no matter what. Ill need to tap a new hole and play with positioning in order to get the measurement back to where the car will auto adjust again. Ill let u guys know what I come up with, along with a really easy to follow write up.

Cons: rear level sensor off

Vehicle: Audi A3
