I upraded from mintex red pads and stock rotors to hawk hps pads and brembo cross drilled and slotted rotors and what a world of difference.
The OE rotors on the 993 twin-turbo were made by....(drum roll)..... Zimmermann. If that brand is good enough to stop a $100,000 supercar, my A2 should be child's play.
just got zimmermans and pbr metal masters and am very happy and for 160$ you can't go wrong
having never tried brembos i really can't say anything but that i'm happy with the zimmerman/red box combo over my old stock/metal master combo
last week I put the zimmermanns w/PBR ceramic pads.... couldn't be happier.
Stopping is sharp and sudden, with a seemingly discordant combo of 13-inch discs up front and 10-inch discs in the rear.
I have Ate rotors and Mintex Redbox on my Golf 2.0 and it stops well...no brake dust and the bite is much better than stock pads although it could still use a lot of improvement though.
I'll put it to you this way, you will need brakes when you are done with the track session. I warped several sets of rotors on my old 2.0 Golf during track days.
As for slotted rotors like the ATE Power discs, they look kind of cool, but for most people they don't have much advantage beyond that.
I already have slotted and x-drilled brembo's with pagid blue box all around. I'm in need of replacement since the fronts are warped.
