It came with 345mm front brakes, having a CC 4-Motion with 345/310 brakes with EBC reds and Tyrol sport guides we wanted the same confident braking in the GTI so we swapped in the 310mm rear brakes/lines. EBC red pads front and rear Bosch rotors front and rear
I have these rotors with EBC yellowstuff pads. So far so good.

Wagner Pads, Bosch QC Rotors. Duralast pads are made by Durago, available on RockAuto. They’re nothing special but they work fine. I like Wagner brakes, other good options include Bosch, Centric and Reybestos. For materials; Ceramic will be quieter and less dusty. Semi-metallic usually have higher fade point but are noisier and let off a fair it more dust which coats your wheels. I’ve been having good luck with the Bosch Quietcast rotors. Advice High Carbon are probably actually be the best option but are one of the more expensive options. Raybestos coated also seem to hold up decently and are a little cheaper. Just avoid anything drilled or slotted it just acts as a cheese grater and acts as less surface area for the pads to grab.
When it comes to rotors and pads, Bosch Quiet Cast are much better than anything else I've tried in 25 years of XJ ownership.
I think it comes down to the composition of rotor itself, the resilience of the coating and probably manufacturing process, they seem to last and perform a lot better than even the other premium coated rotors I've tried over the years. Similar to OEM German car rotors, they still look like new even after multiple Canadian winters.
I think I did some deep dive research and settled on Bosch quiet cast with Akebono pads. I think I’ve also used eccentric in the past. No complaints with any of the above.
Ive had good luck with bosch quietcast
Get ebc rotors made in the uk, bought brembo rotors recently and they’re made in China
I changed my rotors and pads a year ago and got ebc sport rotors and hawk hps 5.0 pads. I absolutely do not recommend ebc rotors as mine have already warped and make a grinding noise. The hawk pads are good, but the brake feel is linear so if you prefer a firmer pedal feel I think ebc red or yellow is a better bet.
Daily use? Don't waist your money. Just get the EBC RK2028 blank discs and yellow stuff pads separately.
