Brake discs GiroDisc or Duralast
Girodisc rotors are awesome and well proven across many vehicle brands.
Pros: awesome, well proven
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I'd buy a set of Girodisc rotors. They will last 10 times longer than crap audi rotors.
Pros: last 10 times longer
Cons: crap audi rotors
Vehicle:
Audi
Definitely approaching end of life. I wouldn’t have a safety concern just yet but you’re getting close. Go with Girodisc for your next set. They’re more expensive but they are amazing.
Pros: amazing
Cons: more expensive
I have applied Dynamic friction rotors and no OEM pads on my giulia at 29K miles, I am closing on 33 K and no issue what so ever (except for the ceramic pad dusts in the wheels). I would recommend not wasting your money on Alfa oem rotors or pads. They are ridiculously overpriced and if they were so good, you won’t be replacing them at 30 K. Rotos usually lasts well above 50K miles.
Pros: no issues, long lifespan
Cons: ceramic dust
Mileage: 33000 km
I've been running posi-quiet pads and duralast gold rotors and it's been excellent great stopping power similar to stock and and minimal break dust!
Pros: excellent stopping power, minimal dust
replaced rotors and pads on my 11' 460. The price difference between grinding and getting new rotors was pretty small so i just bought new gear. Ended up going with the duralast gold rotors which are nice because they have a coating so they don't rust. After about a year and a half, i'm still happy with everything.
Pros: don't rust, good quality
Reliability and safety are my main concerns right now, so I also have Girodisc rotors
Pros: reliability and safety
Vehicle:
Porsche
Almost every car in our PCA club runs GiroDiscs, even the GT and RS cars. Never heard a single complaint, and love them on my C2 and GT3.
Pros: no complaints, love them
Vehicle:
Porsche 911
We are on our fifth weekend with our girodisc two piece rotors. Yes they are expensive, but they are worth it. They are so much better with heat management.
Pros: better heat management
Cons: expensive
Update for all those following along. My brakes were the best they've ever been today - on a very, very hot day (feels-like temp over 100). I had a vibration with light brake pressure, but pressed on giving more pressure and found that as the brakes got more heat in them, and I went deeper into the braking zone, the vibration disappeared. All was well, but after checking the rotors, they appear to have developed cracks.
Pros: best brakes ever
Cons: developed cracks, vibration
Vehicle:
Audi TT RS
