I've always had good luck with the coated Centric rotors I've gotten from RA. No warping, good corrosion resistance.
I've done the Centric e-coat rotors and ceramic pads from Rock Auto on 4 of my vehicles over the years and have been very happy. Rotors don't turn into a ball of rust after getting wet once, let alone thru a salty Midwest winter. Pads seem to have good bite and consistent stopping power (1 set was on my old Mazda3) and no noise or dust.
Had great luck with the Centric Premium rotors and the Power Stop Z23 pads, which have good bite and no dust.
A friend got quoted too much for a brake job while I was visiting out of state and they were only going to turn the rotors. So, I volunteered to do the job. All I had was the spare jack and tire iron. I bought a set of wrenches and a cheap c-clamp from HF to do the job. Yup, sure have a ton of the right tools at home. This just got-r-done. Buttery smooth brakes with new Centric rotors!
I bought EBC slotted rotors and Akebono euro ceramic pads from FCPEuro. They have a lifetime warranty and are hands down the best brakes I have ever had on all of my cars
Just bought the Centric 125 plain high carbon rotors for front and rear with the Hawk HPS 5.0 front pads and Hawk Ceramic rear pads. Highly recommend this setup. Noticeable improvement for street driving only, I just cruise fast sometimes, no track time.
I personally went with some EBC rotors and pads. Front and back with new brake lines cost me about 1k but I\u2019m tuned and plan on making the car even faster.
centric blank rotors and then either OEM pads or i went with the Hawk HPS 5.0 which was a nice upgrade over stock.
I just installed EBC slotted rotors and Akebono ceramic pads front and rear on my '15 Passat. You can believe I will be warrantying them replacing them through FCP when the time comes.
The stock front rotors have fairly significant heat spots and slight warping. I do mostly spirited street driving with some track use but obviously heat dissipation has been an issue, given how hefty the car is. Looking to upgrade the rotors and pads to more performance oriented options while hoping to keep the level of noise and dust relatively low.
