Brake discs STOPTECH or POWER STOP
I've used power stop rotors on a few 3/4 ton trucks with no warping. I would not bat an eye at using them again.
I just got a full set of power stop. They worked out great, only I wish that I would have gotten the coated rotors. The surface rust forming on the uncoated rotors looks bad, but doesn’t affect performance.
Install was rather simple and the stopping power is great.
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.
I used the Power Stop Z36 kit. It has drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads. It was about $425 for all 4 shipped directly to my house last year. So far they seem great.
Went with power stop rotors and pads. Serious upgrade over stock. Very happy.
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.
I got the powerstop set for the front. Heavy duty drilled/slotted rotors, nice pads and new calipers for 200 bucks.
I have had a great experience with my Centric (Stoptech) high carbon cryo-treated plain rotors, stoptech street pads, RBF600
Went with Stoptech slotted, EBC reds, Stoptech SS lines, Stoptech STR-600 fluid.
Made a night & day difference on my non PP 15 SE.
Granted, I really push the car often in the mountains. But the change to this refresh was immediately noticeable. Fade takes a much longer time to set in. But it will still set in. There's far better options if you push it a lot.
But it's such a massive improvement over stock. Which would have fade set in almost immediately after a few harsher corners.
