Totally NOT recommending Brembo, totally recommending ATE disks with ATE pads with Ceramic, even cheaper but **much much** better than Brembo, from all standpoints
got powerdiscs on my v50 and they seem great.
ATE disks I get come like this. The nice thing is the bits the pads don't ride on stay rust free for quite a long time due to the coating.
Had German ATE disks - no dust whatever.
hatte auf meinem Golf 4 (Variant, 1.9 pd mit 74kw) nur ATE Powerdisk, um den Verschleiß zu sehen, mit vorrausschauender Fahrweise haben die Scheiben immer über 140tkm gehalten, Beläge um die 70tkm. weiterer Vorteil ist die weiße Beschichtung (nicht abputzen!) am Anfang vorsichtig Bremsen, er kann auf den ersten Fahrten auch qualmen. die verhindert aber auch Rost innen der Bremsscheiben für einen großteil der Zeit.
I went with ATE "Powerdisc" discs and ceramic pads on my e39 530d, they're beautiful brakes.
Just swapped my fronts again at ~43K. Used VW rotors this time, pads are just fine/have tons of life left. It really comes down to pad deposits from my wife's driving this only around town/short trips and being an early braker.
One of my front rotors on my 2019 was showing significant grooving by about 1500 miles. At 12k miles, it isn't really all that much worse. No pulsing or judder.
I purchased a 2021 Jetta with approx. 14,xxx miles on it. After a 4 hour drive, I noticed what sounded like an extremely rusty brake rotor sound (metal/metal grinding) as well as the sound of an unbalanced wheel or un-evenly worn tire. A local VW dealership reported that both rear tires were showing major cupping and that the brake rotors were so rusted that they were pitting and would not pass VA state safety inspection.
I was fairly unimpressed that the brand new rotors out of the box have some surface rust. I suspect these have been on a shelf for a long time.
