If you were to go with the Zimmerman rotors (I wouldn't go drilled, only slotted/dimpled/blank) and ATE or Textar pads you can run them until they're dead, pay shipping to/from FCP and they'll send you another set. I personally have slotted StopTech rotors on my MK7R and they've been awesome. Even with 5 track days, multiple winter's and a lot of street miles with track pads installed they're still in great shape.
I have had a great experience with my Centric (Stoptech) high carbon cryo-treated plain rotors, stoptech street pads, RBF600
Went with Stoptech slotted, EBC reds, Stoptech SS lines, Stoptech STR-600 fluid.
Made a night & day difference on my non PP 15 SE.
Granted, I really push the car often in the mountains. But the change to this refresh was immediately noticeable. Fade takes a much longer time to set in. But it will still set in. There's far better options if you push it a lot.
But it's such a massive improvement over stock. Which would have fade set in almost immediately after a few harsher corners.
Rotors are good. Least amount of balancing machining marks I’ve seen on single piece aftermarket rotors.
I picked up some Brembos on RockAuto. They are better than oem. Will not rust. 55 bucks at the time.
I used Tire Rack for Stoptech rotors. Not sure if it’s really a bonus but I sprung for the cryo-sportstop. They look great and are smooth. I wouldn’t look at Stillen rotors. They were unbalanced garbage.
Brembo rotors and Akebono pads for daily. stops better and much less dust than factory.
Always had good luck with brembo stuff myself on Hondas.
I really hate to say this but you paid way too much for those front brake discs. But I don't understand why these pins were so stuck, mine were rusted just like yours but a couple of bangs with a hammer and steel pin and they just flew out.
Looks sharp, but remember slotted and drilled rotors are really pretty worthless in most cases until you get to really aggressive track only brake pads at extremely fast advanced level pace (or race pace).
