I ended up buying the drill and slotted rotors from R1 concept and I have the Akebono Brakes. I have had them for a little over a year now and it has been great. My brake power feels better than before and the brake pads are also really great.
I had shake and brake at 30k. warped rotors, replaced the rotors and pad, all good again
I also did the upgrade (after thoroughly reading the golfdave thread), as I hated how grabby and sticky the stock brakes were. For me, it was totally worth it. The larger front rotors have made the brakes way more linear and easy to modulate. The extra thermal capacity is just a bonus.
Bought them for my ZJ, full kit, great quality. Awesome value.
The only thing I have done to it before the most recent work was to change out the rotors and pads.
Stock rotors are cheap and effective anything bigger is just for show.
This problem started after I changed the rear VW brakes rotors and rear VW pads and changed all four wheels with remanufactured VW Phaeton wheels.
I'm actually running corrado g60 rotors right now that i redrilled to 5 bolt since my last set warped.
I looked at the brakes on our Tiguan, and it has one disc that is notably scored, same way. We just crossed 2k miles.
The rear brakes will be an absolute nightmare. There is not a lot of room. As far as I am aware, MK6/MKV R/R32 brakes are the same, so... prepare yourself for a miserable time doing the rear rotors. The rear pads are fine. The rotors suck ass.
