Look for some brembo or ATE rotors from an OE supplier
Hawk HPS with the rear pads almost worn & the front pads were about 70% worn---new rotors all around. Just for kicks, I decided to get ATE Slotted rotors, tyrol caliper bushings & a fresh fluid flush....
When I changed the original rotors on my Jetta they required a hell of a fight to get them off. I put anti-sieze on the hub to ensure that would not happen again. When I changed them this past weekend, the rotors came off no problem at all which was nice.
I just bought and am DIY installing a set of Ate PremiumOne discs and pads for the front on my wagon. They've got a coating similar to the original rotors - I'll report back once I get 'em on.
I'm running PBR Delux pads, rotors are Brembo Fronts, ATE rears. Got whole set up for around $225-250 from GetCoolParts a year or so ago..they often have sales...and were doing so on the rotors at the time so I'm sure prices now are a bit more. Front pads made some noise...not squeal, more like a rattle (yes I double checked the anti rattle clips)...just about the time I was gonna pull the pads and apply anti rattle shims...problem went away...been working great ever since. There is rust on the nonbraking surfaces, but no staining etc. so I'm not goin to the trouble of painting the rotor hats etc.
I looked at the marketplace on Passatworld and saw the deal on Brembo plainface rotors and PBR pads. I passed on the pads because of several comments about rattle/squeal. I passed on the Brembos because I was told in an email by the vendor that they aren't treated for rust. I went with Ate pads and Ate Premium One rotors from getcoolparts.com (free shipping!). They have a MetaCote rust preventative coating. Read about them here : Ate PremiumOne Description. I haven't installed them yet, so I can't comment on noise yet. But the coating sounds promising.
New Rabbit front brake vented rotors (ATE) and new pads (Pagid)...SOLD
brand new front brake set up (ATE 'atomic' slotted rotors, mintex red box pads, ATE super blue racing fluid)
I just did the rear brakes on my 2000 wagon, and the parts where $82 for two ATE rotors, and PBR Metal Master pads from http://www.getcoolparts.com
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.
