They are awesome / power stop is the brand I’ve used before and always get rotors-pads-new fluid if vehicle is old enough - make sure you do a proper break in for the pads and rotors or they will squeal soon
I’ve purchased plenty of rtors and pads from RockAuto and they are fabulous. Additionally, i notice your picture is of Powerstop rotors and pads. I’ve bought Powerstop for several of my cars. The drilled and slotted rotors are A-MAZ-ZING. I highly recommend them, as they warp way, way less than other rotors. It’s incredible how much heat they can take.
Having said that, the Powerstop pads are another story. They are built for *racing*. This means an unusual break-in method and they don’t ‘grip’ as hard until they get really hot (like they would if you were road-racing/rally-crossing your car). This means that your braking won’t be as good under normal, everyday conditions that 99% of us do. I experienced this on a 2006 Honda Odyssey, a 2010 Jeep Wrangler 4-door, and a 2005 Subaru Outback. This is not a defect in the pad. They are designed this way because they are a racing pad.
I’ve since just bought ‘normal’ pads and they work great.
I bought what a guy had left from a returns pallet he bought from rock auto. I have a 2011 335i. He had front/rear pads/rotors plus wear sensors. I paid $25. Only stuff i couldn't use and had to buy myself were front pads and the wear sensors, as they weren't compatible. They're PowerStop's Z23 carbon series pads/rotors. I have zero complaints.
I have and all I've actually had good experiences with the powerstop brand as long as you get the higher grade coated rotors
I just did a few hours ago for my 1990 Corolla.
Got some power stop ones with geomet rotors for like 95 after shipping...
I bought the Powerstop slotted rotors and pads for my Miata NC.
I use power stop on everything I own. They are fantastic, never had a set warp yet. And they use a really good coating on them that doesn't rust. Had a set for 5 or 6 years on my exs yukon and they hadn't even rested yet when she sold it.
I run the Powerstop Z36 heavy duty rotors and pads on the FJ. Improvement in braking, minimal brake dust.
Thats not a VW problem, that a cheap/faulty brake rotor problem. The only car I ever owned that would not shake when braking hard over 70 mph was my 2014 cruze with fresh power stop rotors and pads.
Oh when I got high carbon DBA rotors with PMU pads the screeching was unbearable for street driving, track was fine with all the hard braking, but light breaking around town…..screeeeeeech.
