Brake discs Textar or MEYLE
Within the last 500-1000 miles, she has received Textar Rotors and EBC Brake Pads.
Pros: improved braking
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I like shitty Textar rotors because they’re cheap, consistent, and easy to come by.
Pros: cheap, consistent, easy

I upgraded slightly by going with GLI brakes front and rear. Did basic Meyle rotors with Akebono ceramic pads. Couldn't be happier.
Pros: nice OEM option
About a year ago, I installed a complete Meyle control arm kit in my B7 A4 Avant . At the same time I installed a set of Meyle geomet coated rotors and Akebono ceramic pads on all 4 corners. The car still rides, handles and stops like new. The rotors still look new with no warping and no rust after a tough New England winter.
Pros: rides, handles, stops like new
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Audi A4
I'm running Corrado G60 11.0" front calipers and carriers, and MKIV alloy rear calipers on my 97 Jetta GT with Meyle plated rotors. The rotors are about four years old, and still look almost new. A few small rust dots are showing, but not the massive rust that you see on most two and older rotors, and virtually no wear of the friction surfaces.
Pros: look almost new, little wear
Cons: few small rust dots
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I've had Meyle Corrado G60 11.0" 4-bolt rotors on my 97 Jetta GT for two years, and they are barely wearing (plating is gone off the friction surface of course, but holding up well over the rest of the rotors).
Pros: barely wearing, plating holding up
Cons: plating gone off friction
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I'm kinda partial to Meyle plated rotors. They're inexpensive, high quality, and appear to be wearing well on my 97 Jetta GT (Corrodo G60 11.0" front calipers and rotors).
Pros: inexpensive, high quality
Cons: none
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I'm running the coated Meyle rotors and have been pleased with them over the last year. They appeared to be well made out of the box and fit well, especially for the price. The anticorrosive treatment is holding up well too.
Pros: well made, fit well
Be careful with the Textar rotors. They're made in China, I had used them for years when they released but the warranty frequency rate was over double what I had with Zimmermann. Switched back and the come backs dropped back to normal. Made in Germany ftw.
Pros: Made in Germany
Cons: high warranty rate
I bought my Meyle rotors and installed them end of September last year, about 10-11 months ago. They are completely worn out already and need to be replaced.
Cons: completely worn out
