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.
I recently installed 345 and 310 from the mk5 R32 on mine, feels and looks much better.
Follow up after my track day: The Girodiscs + Pagids were amazing. Tons of bite, and zero fade, plus plenty of pedal feel after two days of running hard at VIR.
I have had great success with Girodisc rotors this summer. I have been using Ferodo DS2500 pads for a few years and love them, but rotor temperatures would hit 800+ degrees after track sessions and conventional rotors, like Stop Tech, developed surface cracking and maybe a bit of warp. Girodisc rotor temps have been around 550 degrees after sessions this summer.
I had shake and brake at 30k. warped rotors, replaced the rotors and pad, all good again
I also did the upgrade (after thoroughly reading the golfdave thread), as I hated how grabby and sticky the stock brakes were. For me, it was totally worth it. The larger front rotors have made the brakes way more linear and easy to modulate. The extra thermal capacity is just a bonus.
I had the same with my GTI 2015 manual, I was braking less because I was using the engine brake a lot. At 8000 km I made a complaint at the dealer, they changed the discs, and suggested that I brake harder
Do both. The stock rotors are pretty garbage and cover your car in iron anyways.
I looked at my wife’s Tig and they look bad as well only 3900 miles.
I took a look at my breaks and noticed the exact same wear on passenger front. Have SEL-P 4Motion R-Line and only 1100 miles.
