Brake discs STOPTECH or MEYLE
I had StopTech sport slotted cryo-treated rotors on the front and Hawk HPS pads all around. Stopped me every time. Lack of fade coming off the freeway was amazballs. Never warped.
Pros: excellent stopping power, no fade
I got the brake pad light at 51K. I knew I'd need new pads and rotors all around. I look at this as a chance to upgrade components at the same time. Adding Giro disk two piece rotors up front, stoptech slotted in the in rear, upgraded lines, better pads etc.
Pros: upgrade components
Mileage: 51000 km
I just (like Friday) got slotted StopTechs for the front. I got Hawk pads and can confirm they stop the Fiesta in a timely manner. Outside of the silly blow-off valve, the only modifications I have done have been StopTech rotors front and rear.
Pros: timely stopping
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
Personally I really like the StopTech Slotted rotors. The slots do nothing to help braking performance but they do help keep the face of the pads flat.
Pros: keep pads flat
Cons: slots don't improve braking
I've run them on three cars. You won't regret them. I'm actually running the 336mm rotors on my c30 right now with a custom caliper setup. Been like that for 2 years with no complaints, and in total I've been running stoptech rotors for 8 years.
Pros: long lasting, no complaints
i bought stoptech slotted rotors and stoptech performance street pads for my wife's Odyssey as a way to gauge if they were great for daily use compared to just regular rotors and upgraded pads. I can say that there is a huge difference in preventing fade and stopping power just from that kit alone
Pros: preventing fade, stopping power
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
I recently did my brakes 2 weeks ago and very happy with how they came out. StopTech Centric Cryo rotors F & R, Hawk HPS 5.0 Street pads, 034 stainless brake lines.
Pros: happy with outcome
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I've used StopTech rotors in 3 cars so far (95 Camaro Z28, 06 Volvo V70R and 05 Corvette) and simply ordered the OEM equivalent and all worked fine. The Camaro worked better than OEM, the V70R worked about the same (OEM brakes were Bremebo so they were already pretty good) and the Corvette was also about the same (car already had excellent stopping capability.)
Pros: worked fine, better than OEM
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
I went the other way - I've had scary brake fade a number of times on VW/Audis on the track in the past, and I wanted the "once and done" option when I picked up my Golf R earlier this year. So, worked with Achtuning to install a Stoptech ST60 355mm setup on the front, with stoptech rotors, pads, and SS lines all around. Pro Absolutely bulletproof on HPDEs. You simply don't worry about brake temps or soft pedals, you get 100% braking all day long.
Pros: bulletproof on HPDEs, 100% braking
Cons: brake squeal around town
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I ended up getting a kit from urotuning, stop tech cross drilled rotors and stop tech pads. I am very happy with the performance, the cross drilling seems to take care of the poor braking whith the stock rotors in wet conditions. The initial bite is a little less agressive than stock, maybe a different pad would give that back.
Pros: happy with the performance
Cons: less aggressive initial bite
