The rotors have come in I usually go with EBC but I had to cut their slotted rotors twice cuz of pulsation, stoptech has been good so far.

Actually just installed a set in my MK6 GLI and they are a whole lot better than the OEM branded pads.
There is a noticeable difference between OEM pads and these along with high temp brake fluid when doing 20 min sessions at Portland International Raceway... less fade and shorter stopping distance. Also the pads are still quiet and about same brake dust as OEM.
I went with the Powerstop slotted/cross drilled rotors, and Stoptech Sport pads on my Impreza, and they're awesome. The Stoptechs are Semi-metallics and initial bite is really good compared to the ceramics I previously had.
I installed Stoptech Brake Rotors and EBC Red Stuff pads together with SS brake lines. It really stops well now.
I have a full Stoptech setup (4 slotted rotors and street pads) on my MK6 GTI right now, and I like how it feels and performs. I used to have just Stoptech rear pads on OEM rotors, and it seemed to perform just fine as well. The downside (in my experience) with the street pads is that they dust a LOT, especially the rears.
I had StopTec Posi Quiet pads installed on my '17 R. They have very little brake dust and are much more linear feeling than the stock pads. I can highly recommend them for street use.
Just installed stoptech slotted rotors f/r along with hawk hps 5.0, so far so good, quiet linear pedal response, not over boasted like stock, much less dust.
I did the OE sized StopTech setup on my car in July. I really like them. I don't have a lot of time on them, but I'm happy with them so far.
Brakes: (front) StopTech 13.5” slotted Frodo, 944 Porsche pads, (rear) VR6 disc from 1996 Golf
