Brake discs STOPTECH or Raybestos
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
I went with Raybestos Element 3 rotors and pads. I live in New England so plenty of salt. Getting into my 2nd winter on them and they still look new.
Pros: look new, second winter
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Volt
On the side/personal vehicles? Raybestos coated rotors with OEM pads or Wagner OEX pads every time. Consistent quality, smooth strong braking and low dust.
Pros: consistent quality, low dust
Purchased brake pads and rotors off of Rock Auto.
RAYBESTOS 982348FZN - Rotors
Night and day difference on the brakes.
Pros: night and day difference
Mileage: 40000 km
Part number: RAYBESTOS 982348FZN
Put the Raybestos ones on my 19 turbo 2 years ago and have been happy with them.
Pros: happy with them
Not at all worth it. Go on Rockauto and get ones from a reputable brand like Raybestos or Centric. They’re just as good if not better than OEM for like 1/4 the price.
Pros: good quality, low price
I recently ordered a set of Raybestos rotors and pads and they are great for the money.
Pros: great for the money
Rock auto.

Pros: cheap, work great
I have Stoptech rotors and EBC Yellow stuff pads. I like the feel, the dust not so much.
Pros: good feel
Cons: lots of dust
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
