I got R1 concepts drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads and they've been awesome.
I just put a set of R1 Concepts drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads. Huge improvement over OEM.
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.
Great quality at a decent price. I've been using them for almost 15 years on everythinng from a minivan to 2 BMWs.
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.
Not including labor, I spent like $400 for PowerStop Drilled and Slotted Rotors + Brake Pads for all 4 wheels.
Good but get the coated rotors if you live somewhere with winters. They last me much longer than the uncoated ones.
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.
PowerStop Rotors warped after 5 months . Luckily they warrantied it . Go OEM for anyone doing tundra upgrade .
