Brake discs STOPTECH or Duralast
I have the StopTech brand and have been perfect for me this season
Pros: perfect this season
I went with the stoptech rotors and brake pads, the brake pads i got from tire rack, and the rotors from buybrakes.com since I have factory slotted rotors
I like the duralast gold brake rotors. They have a really nice coating to help prevent corrosion, if you’re in the north east I really recommend them. They do need to be bedded once installed to get rid of the coating on the braking surface of the rotor. You pretty much just get the car up to 20mph and hit the brakes a little aggressive, you do this a few times each time increasing your speed. It comes with clear instructions how to do it.
Pros: nice coating, prevents corrosion
Cons: needs bedding
I really like the StopTech rotors I had, but they have gone up in price significantly over the years.
Pros: liked performance
I swapped over from the oem Brembo pads and rotors to project mu pads and Stoptech rotors and it was a definitely worth the upgrade. I got the type PS pads they offer which has less dust than the oem pads, no noise and way better braking performance. Super easy to modulate and paired with 200tw tires your braking confidence goes through the roof and you can really late brake and trail brake easily.
Pros: better braking performance, easy modulate
Cons: more expensive
I have Stop Tech slotted rotors on the front, still new in box for the rear. Same thing with stainless braided lines.
Pros: new in box

Audi A3
Dynamic Friction makes a good geomet-coated rotor that is excellent for what they cost.
Pros: excellent for the cost
Dynamic Friction are great with ceramic pads, only complaint is cosmetic, they do not coat the rotors so after some rain the inside hub of the rotors starts to rust. Purely cosmetic, great rotors! I drive them fast regularly and they perform better than OEM
Pros: better than OEM, great performance
Cons: cosmetic rust
I have Stoptech rotors and EBC Yellow stuff pads. I like the feel, the dust not so much.
Pros: good feel
Cons: lots of dust
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.
Cons: horrible shudder when braking
Vehicle:
