Brake discs STOPTECH or Raybestos
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.
Pros: higher quality material
Vehicle:
Toyota Camry
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.
Pros: long lasting, great shape
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I have had a great experience with my Centric (Stoptech) high carbon cryo-treated plain rotors, stoptech street pads, RBF600
Pros: great experience
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.
Pros: massive improvement, less fade
Cons: fade still occurs
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Rotors are good. Least amount of balancing machining marks I’ve seen on single piece aftermarket rotors.
Pros: good rotors, least machining marks
I really like the Raybestos Element3, Coated rotors. I have them on my GTI in NW Ohio and they resist rust better than anything else I have tried.
Pros: rust resistant, good quality
I used Tire Rack for Stoptech rotors. Not sure if it’s really a bonus but I sprung for the cryo-sportstop. They look great and are smooth. I wouldn’t look at Stillen rotors. They were unbalanced garbage.
Pros: look great, smooth performance
Cons: unbalanced garbage
Swapped them out for Stoptech drilled/slotted rotors and the problem was better.
Pros: problem was better
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I'm using StopTech's 1-piece drilled and cryo-treated rotors and EBC Redstuff pads and have been extremely impressed with their performance on the street.Very good braking and fairly low dust and/or noise.
Pros: very good braking, low dust
Cons: some trimming needed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Green, Been Using Stop Techs Exclusively. Been using Stop Tech rotors for a long time on my MKIII.
Pros: using for a long time
