when I did the brakes on my ‘17 GTI about 20k miles ago I used Duralast Gold rotors and pads from AutoZone. Low dust, low noise, stop fine and the rotor hubs are coated so they don’t rust in five minutes. They’ve been perfectly cromulent.
I just did mine brakes & rotors on my 2019 1.5 and all parts from R1 Concepts, drilled & slotted. Feel so smooth!
I’ve used R1 rotors for over 15 years on everything from a Dodge minivan to all three of my BMW’s. I have not ever had one issue and will continue to buy them for years to come.
I use Duralast Gold rotors on my two endurance race cars - they are great. I wouldn't expect the basic ones to be anything special, but they should work just fine.
I’ve been buying rotors for over 15 years from R1 Concepts and highly recommend them. Good quality and good price.
I got the the black R1 Concepts slotted and drilled ones for mine, thinking the same thing about the cosmetics. But the black wore off after a few stops. Still good breaks tho.
I have r1 concepts on right now. They haven't treated me bad at all.
My '21 brakes started shaking around 20K miles as well. I installed Dynamic Friction coated rotors and ceramic pads from Rockauto. They have lasted longer than the stock OEM brakes with similar performance.
R1 concepts has nice rotors, and they sent me dynamic friction pads that I’ve been very happy with.
I’m hesitant to give them business though because they sent me broken brake pads that were clearly abused in the warehouse, not in shipping, and refused to remedy the situation. I was furious.
I did the fronts with \"Duralast.\" They produced a HORRIBLE shudder when braking. I replaced them with the same this and the issue was the same. So, I bought OEM pads/rotors and the issued COMPLETELY went away.
