coated power stop rotors and their ceramic pads. have never had a problem with any power stop parts ever, the coating holds up well in my experience, and the pads feel just as good as anything else ive tried.
We had the first instance of warped rotors at 15k and the dealer resurfaced them under warranty. Then at 25k it sounded like a NYC subway train pulling into the station at slow stops. Returned to the dealer to be told that they wouldn't work on the brakes again without us replacing the pads and rotors on our dime. I believe the rotors were getting glazed. Decided to go with the PowerStop drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads, replaced them at home and we've been very happy for another 10k. Improved brake performance and as quiet as can be.
I absolutely love mine on my 2015. Normally an OEM guy on other Lexus/Toyota trucks but after not being satisfied and doing lots of research decided to give [these](https://a.co/d/1SkJLV5) a try. It’s been about 10k miles now and I’m very impressed. Would 100% recommend.
Edit: adding that not only is the brake performance excellent, the fact that they don’t rust is a huge plus!
I've used the power stop and semi-coat rotors for many years on my truck and suv. Definitely notice a difference with the coating on the rotors being somewhere that the roads get salted in the winter. The pads have a good lifetime on them and have never had any issues.
I do oem for nearly everything. Rotors are not one of them. PowerStop Evolution rotors are OE weight and quality with a zinc coating for corrosion at a decent price. I think I'm on my 4th set over a decade and two cars.
Short answer, oem rotors are not worth it. Brake pads and rotors are one of the areas the aftermarket is great at. I have been happy with Power Stop geomet fully coated rotors. They cost basically the same or a dollar or two more vs the semi coated on rockauto.
As others have noted the Girodisc with quality track pads, upgraded brake fluid and RS3 ducts is all that is needed.
Not including labor, I spent like $400 for PowerStop Drilled and Slotted Rotors + Brake Pads for all 4 wheels.
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.
Had them on a Mazda3. Developed pulsation within 3 months.
