I have a non-pp GTI and threw on Centric blank rotors and powerstop z23 pads from Rockauto. Cost around $400 CAD including shipping and tax..super cheap.
No complaints about them, I would certainly buy them again. Very little brake dust but with a strong bite.
I went with Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors with brake pads. I like them, work great, less dust.
I got ASP pads & fully coated Centric rotors when I did my big brake swap & they treated me well.
I got 75k miles out of my plain centric rotors with hard track use on my GE
I used to have both front rotors smoking after uphill runs lmao. I ended up getting some Powerstop slotted/drilled rotors and pads and then I overheated my brake fluid my first downhill run with them. Since I changed that its been braking fine and better than than stock imo
Powerstop are what I’ve been running on a few cars with no issues.
I went with powerstop geomet coated for rust prevention as I drive in a high humidity area and sometimes on the beach with saltwater.
Akebono ceramic pads and zimmermann or powerstop rotors. Those rotors are my top choices.
I have the same pad compound but I end up just buying some cheap Centric blanks. The rotors end up taking in so much heat that they'll end up with a crack here and there. I just end up tossing the rotors and pads, they're relatively cheap so it doesn't bother me much.
My power stop rotors lasted about 8 months before warping. Had the bright idea that I could save a few bucks putting them in for a few years before doing the tundra swap.
