Brake discs GiroDisc or MEYLE
Absolutely love my girodiscs. I’m on DS2500s which its time for an upgrade to a more aggressive pad, but they’ve held up through quite some heat lol.
Pros: held up through heat
Vehicle:
Porsche
Went from OEM to Girodisc 350mm. All street, no track. By far the best upgrade I have done to my 991.2 C4.
Pros: best upgrade, improved performance
Vehicle:
Porsche
Go with the Giro's and leave them on permanently. Better cooling and braking and cheaper to replace just the discs (2 piece rotor) on future replacement.
Pros: better cooling, better braking
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
GiroDisc 2 piece rotors. Excellent weight saving and stopping power.
Pros: excellent stopping power
Cons: weight saving
Vehicle:
Mitsubishi
I rebuilt the RS3 calipers in Lapiz Blue and ended up using TT-RS Girodisc rotors due to the Golf R hub being a slightly different offset. Great pedal feel!
Pros: Great pedal feel
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
As others have noted the Girodisc with quality track pads, upgraded brake fluid and RS3 ducts is all that is needed.
Pros: great reputation
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
S2000 1 piece oem rotors last 2 weekends
Girodisc s2000 oem size 2 piece rotors lasted me almost 2 years of heavy tracking. They only died because my hawk er1 pads took a chunk out of one. They still had plenty of thickness
Pros: long lasting, durable
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
Girodisc rotors are awesome and well proven across many vehicle brands.
Pros: awesome, well proven

I had similar issues with my girodsics when I got them. The bigger issue was the rotors were hitting the top of the caliper and SCREAMING even when I wasn’t braking. I got in contact with Girodisc and they sent me some more spacers to push the caliper away from the rotor a bit more.
Pros: manufacturer provided solution
Cons: rotors hitting caliper, screaming noise
I did my brakes about a week ago and was fine since the other day...getting a high pitched woooo intermittent sound after driving a few miles some times goes away when I depress the pedal. Also chatters on little bups and pot holes a bit now too.
Cons: high pitched sound, chatters
