Brake discs STOPTECH or Detroit Axle
Reviews
On my Honda CRV I've found the best value for money for driving on Michigan salted roads are the Deteoit Axle OEM coated rotor & pad re0lacement kit, comes with inserts, grease, top up brake fluid, brake cleaner, eventually the electroplated coating on the braking surface wears off from braking & you get rust spots if they sit outside covered in the salt slush, but the hub mating surfaces & venting fins been covered in 2 Michigan winters of snow & salt & still not a spot of rust on the rotor.
Pros: good value, rust resistant
Cons: coating wears off

For fun daily driving, I’ve got stainless steel brake lines, stoptech rotors (slotted in front) and Carbotech pads that I absolutely love. Highly recommended!
Pros: highly recommended, love them
I bought Detroit Axle front/rear drill and slotted rotors for my renegade and work awesome. For the price they have been great.
Pros: work awesome, great price
Detroit axle rotors and pads on mine. Best value imo. Fusion breaking power is sufficient as is.
Pros: best value, sufficient power
Honestly I have used these rotors on my car they work perfectly fine they also come with 10 year limited wararnty. These rotors are not any worse than the expensive brands the only difference is the price. If you don't feel comfortable using these that's totally up to the individual but these have a lot of good reviews and so far I'm impressed with the stopping power these provide. They are drilled though so maybe not as tough as the non drilled ones however the holes do help with stopping I can vouch they stop my car a bit better than the OEM non slotted ones.
Pros: good stopping power, 10 year warranty
Cons: drilled, may not be as tough

Mine have been Detroit Axel. Set of 4 rotors and pads and a can of cleaner for a decent price, shipped quickly to boot. My cars go to/from work and an occasional road trip. I'm not hauling anything heavy, I'm not overtly hard braking, and I'm not racing; just a daily driver.
Pros: decent price, quick shipping
It depends on the brand. I got some stop tech rotors from Amazon no issues
Pros: no issues
I got Stoptech slotted and drilled rotors for like $250, and their carbon ceramic middle pads for like $150 front and rear. They are awesome.
Pros: awesome performance
At ~4,000 miles, I bought a set of StopTech (front) drilled+slotted rotors (non-PP) for my GTI and kept my OEM brake pads. Everything was fine up until recently (~2,000 miles later). I now hear a high pitch "squealing" noise at very low speeds. This happens right when I'm about to come to a complete stop (1-3 mph).
Cons: high pitch squealing noise

Since I installed the StopTech slotted brake rotors on my 2013 Golf R last winter, every time I've driven in the rain, after cruising long enough such that the brakes get "cold," as soon as I mash on the brake pedal, there is no stopping power whatsoever. Once the brakes "heat up" the response and stopping power are as what I'd expect. On a dry day, this does not happen at all - the brakes are firm and the stopping response is exactly what I'd expect.
Pros: good response when warm, firm on dry days
Cons: no stopping power in rain, no power when cold
