If VW won't cover the costs, then don't buy the VW rotors again. Tire Rack sells Centric brand rotors for our vans. These are the same rotors that Powerslot rotors use, just without the slots. They are about $50 each are a much better quality than the stockers. Yeah it's $200, but I would bet these will not warp like the stock rotors.
They are slightly better tho because the rotors are bigger, hence better stopping power but all that has already been discussed up top. I just want alittle quicker braking and nicer looking calipers.
No, the Corrado G60 11" 4-bolt rotors bolt right onto the MKIII 10.1" 4-bolt hubs. I bolted on Corrado G60 Girling 54 11" calipers and Meyle Corrado 11" 4-bolt rotors to my 97 Jetta GT without any problems at all.
I've just finished upgrading my 97 MKIII Jetta GT from 10.1" to 11" Corrado G60 brakes, I know what you're going through, because I've made all the mistakes.
i have been told at the dealer that new thickness is approx 25 mm, and replacement size is 23 mm... VW recommends they be done together, but backyard experts & penny pinchers feel that it isn't necessary...... I would never take a chance for the $200 or so that rotors cost it just isn't worth it. if you can't afford $200 for the most critical safety system on your car, perhaps you should take the bus until you can... Very small diameter diferences cause degradation of brake performance, witness when the pads are half worn how low the fluid goes down....that is compensating for the pad wear and ROTOR wear as well......tires & brakes are all that saves your butt in the day-to-day world of insanity out there, don't be foolish.
I'm actually running corrado g60 rotors right now that i redrilled to 5 bolt since my last set warped.
I am happy with the R32 setup so far ( rotors are freaking heavy); but if I was to upgrade it would be either AP or stoptech trophies....
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.
I bought my Meyle rotors and installed them end of September last year, about 10-11 months ago. They are completely worn out already and need to be replaced.
Unfortunately the problem is inherent in the design of the rotors. Not in where they were produced. You can put the best rotors in the world on that car and they will still warp. Vw/Chrysler would need to spec a larger and thicker rotor to help dissipate heat properly. All aftermarkets will make the rotor to fit, based on the crappy oem specs. So, get used to having new rotors put on...because recall or not, Chrysler still needs to redesign that rotor. FYI, I'm in the same boat as you guys! These rotors suck!
