I just did mine. I put on raybestos rotors and akebono pads. Stopping power is significantly better the the OE rotors and pads I took off. SIGNIFICANTLY.
Pros: significantly better stopping power

I changed to Brembo drilled rotors and Pagid pads and the problem has gone away completely on both cars, now at 20K miles since the change.
Pros: problem has gone away

Mileage: 20000 km
I’ve got the R1 concept drilled/slotted rotors and ceramic pads, felt a decent difference from the OEM but my rotors and pads were at about 35% life so it makes sense that I’d feel a good difference. I do some spirited driving around town and the brakes perform pretty great.
Pros: pretty great performance
Vehicle:
Subaru
I really like the DBA T2 rotors with their street pads. Great setup and didn't break the bank.
Pros: great setup

Galfer Wave Rotors and MTX Braking Red Pads. Upgraded my Switchblade to 203mm front and rear and added in a set of Red Pads and my SRAM Code R now stop like XTR but have great modulation.
Pros: great modulation
After 160k miles, finally changed the brake rotors. Got the Bosch Quietcast rotors and paired it with the Bosch Quietcast brake pads. Was a pretty simple project, and would highly recommend! Haven’t heard a squeak or anything. Definitely “quiet.”
Pros: quiet, easy install

I used a 17 Camry SE. Get the Eibach eccentric bolts and sent it with -1.75 camber. It'll really help the car put down some good power.
Get some good tires and brakes and you will be able to tackle downhills all day even at 3200 lbs. I had DIXCEL heat treated rotors all around. Make sure the front brakes have less bite to get that snap on turn in.
Pros: good braking, good power
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
I personally have had great results with power stop. Especially on my ‘11 f-150 when towing. The heavy duty towing rotors exceeded my expectations for the price.
Pros: exceeded expectations, great results

on my SELP with 18K miles, the rear rotors were pulsating and shuddering at high speeds and I know exactly what caused it, coming over a mountain pass, but NOT riding the brakes. Anyway, the disc surafces looked ok but 2/3 of the pads had gone. Changed out with Pagid pads and Brembo rotors - we\u2019ll see how that goes. BTW removing the caliper is a PITA the triplle hex bolts were are very very tight. On my SE with 38k miles front pads were down to last remaining 1mm\u2026. Yeah I should have checked them a while back. Both front rotors on both cars are heavily grooved, but no signs of deposits. Put Pagid pads in the fronts. On the SE I have just ordered Brembo cross drilled rotors for the rear. I thought I would just share this info and given more evidence of how these Arteon\u2019s eat pads and rotors wear wise and are easy to distort.
Pros: new pads and rotors installed
Cons: pulsating and shuddering rotors, pads worn, grooved rotors
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 18000 km
My rotors needed changing at 30k miles- down to 2mm and failed inspection.
Cons: failed inspection, 2mm
Mileage: 30000 km
