Awesome! I used StopTech. Wanted slotted only, but they shipped me drilled and slotted. Oh and I went on doing the braided steel brake lines too for fun. So far so good ????
just as i hoped my front rotors were warped. new oe ones solved my problem now no shaking from the front.
The StopTech Zinc Coated Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors I’m using started their life as Centric 120 (121) blanks: https://www.buybrakes.com/brake-rotors/stoptech-drilled-slotted-brake-rotors-best-price-select-227
- The next step up is the 127 series high carbon rotor, but the cost is 2x the StopTech 227 series Centric 120/121 rotor and performance is roughly the same, only longevity changes as the hat is painted (vs the Zinc coating on the 227). I’ve had this set on my 2013 G37S for a couple of years now and performance is slightly better than stock with almost no brake dust thrown from the 305/308 series Centric pads that ship with the kit.
Love the set up this is what I will be forced to do with my front 2 piece rotors in front will help with heat for sure and ceramic pads you will have zero issue's as all problems were cause by factory pads.
I recently installed 345 and 310 from the mk5 R32 on mine, feels and looks much better.
I got the "stoptech" brand if I remember correctly. They install the exact same as other brands, the difference is higher quality material, and maybe drilled / slotted.
If you were to go with the Zimmerman rotors (I wouldn't go drilled, only slotted/dimpled/blank) and ATE or Textar pads you can run them until they're dead, pay shipping to/from FCP and they'll send you another set. I personally have slotted StopTech rotors on my MK7R and they've been awesome. Even with 5 track days, multiple winter's and a lot of street miles with track pads installed they're still in great shape.
Eventually it was deemed that the brake discs had become faulty, giving a vibration on braking and there was high speed vibration caused by unbalanced tyres. Front discs replaced, braking vibration gone.
I took a look at my breaks and noticed the exact same wear on passenger front. Have SEL-P 4Motion R-Line and only 1100 miles.
Just noticed yesterday my front rotors are pretty scored too - got a screw in my tire and the repair shop commented on the rotors too.
