Owner reviews for brake discs

Nice, I order the power stop kit from ecstuning non vented worked great and was able to slide out rotors. 26k mikes and rotors were corroded bad.

Bought them for my ZJ, full kit, great quality. Awesome value.

Akebono ceramics and Zimmerman rotors on countless brake jobs. Never a complaint about feeling different then OEM and folks like the reduction in dust. From hard drivers to grocery getters, never a problem and no comebacks.

The Hella rotors are a very good casting and not prone to warping. Their pads are great too if not a bit dusty.

I went with Bosch Quiet Cast rotors and pads a year ago. Extremely happy with them.

I did my fronts and have posted the details recently if you search. Got my rotors/pads from Rockauto - $210 delivered. Yes, not a lot of options for the front for whatever reason. I got Powerstop slotted/drilled rotors and Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads. V. easy job - about an hour and a half total taking my time. Amazing results compared to my uneven/\"warped\" stockers. My issue was pulsing slowing from highway speeds.

I used the EVOLUTION GEOMET COATED ROTOR BRAKE KIT from PowerStop on my Gen 1. Worked great, lasted long, lot less brake dust.

The only weak point of the driving experience can be the brakes. The stock rotors are not totally up to the kind of driving that car demands. This is easily remedied by aftermarket rotors and they are super cheap.

Mine are 288 fronts (yeah, I measured) and combined with the pitiful rears the whole systems is not (as I've read many times) "sufficient for daily driving". Too many times I've worried I won't stop in time. Too many times I've come down an average hill with definite fade that made me worry should an animal dart out in front of me. I want something akin to my GTI's brakes. Not something that will stop a freight train but just something I know will stop. And stop firm every time. Definitely OEM . I'd rather not have red but whatever I have, it will have to match front/rear. After reading the limited information I can find across multiple forums, nothing has mentioned swapping the front TDI brakes (if they are actually 310mm) over to a 2.5l. It would seem that if the caliper is the same 2.5 to TDI, all you would really need is the rotor and the TDI carrier, correct? Regarding the rears, nothing seems available straight off the OEM shelf, except GTI, correct? Any non-red options there?

I took a look at my breaks and noticed the exact same wear on passenger front. Have SEL-P 4Motion R-Line and only 1100 miles.
