Brake discs STOPTECH or MEYLE
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 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
Vehicle:
Audi A3
I’m getting slotted stop tech rotors for my 09 Corolla XRS. Gonna hit some back roads, I’m a very aggressive driver and and very hard on my breaks, also want to do hard backroad driving, so I will benefit from the slotted rotors.
Pros: benefit from slotted rotors
Vehicle:
Toyota Corolla
Went with stop tech two piece slotted rotors and EBC yellow pads when I got my 2015 DSG a few years ago. No complaints but there are better pads out there than EBC. First 3-5k miles the yellows squeaked at a 6/10 level probably.
Pros: no complaints, good rotors
Cons: pads squeak initially
Mileage: 3000 km
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
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 4000 km
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
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
