Owner reviews for brake discs

Engine braking is how I got 60k miles out of the original brake rotors and pads on my '07 GTI as well as a steady 30 mpg while barely trying.

i have them on my 1998 Golf GTI What i have used since 3 months: ... R1 concepts brake discs (not a famous brand but really nice discs) And then it's plug and play. Pedal feel is very good and it brakes very good!

I have solid BREMBO rotors, girling calipers and I think that you can get slotted rotors in the 'solid' width....just a different kind of venting.

I'm putting [DBA T3 4000](http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005SJ7ERU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) rotors on my WRX (with Ferodo DS2500 pads) next week. Those rotors are rated for racing temps and aren't crazy expensive.

I'm not sure if you have the sensor or not. Either way, if you're just looking at blank rotors, your costs will be a bit less than mine. :beer: http://brakeperformance.com/brake-rotors/Premium-Dimpled-and-Slotted-Brake-Rotors.php?did=35848 - rotors for fronts with sensor http://brakeperformance.com/brake-rotors/Premium-Dimpled-and-Slotted-Brake-Rotors.php?did=35849 - rotors for fronts without sensor https://www.carpartkings.com/brake/disc-brake-pad.html - Pads

the rotors im running are the 372mm stock TTRS rotors haven't had any problems with squeal or squeaks at all yet. day to day driving they are good. if you press a little harder then normal and they work awesome.

I used Optimal coated rotors from GAP. Seem like a good option for the price.

Recently, I pad-slapped the x-type with some of the other pads I had, on the used OEM rotors, and surprisingly it brakes just fine. It seems the issue with poor braking was likely the cheap rotors...

Our 03 Variant Tip needed rear pads at 30,000. Got the ATE rotors and "OEM" pads from 1stVWParts. No complaints about price, etc BUT the pads actually put out MORE dust than the stock ones!!!!!

On my old '93 300ZX, my brakes were shot so I had specifically ordered Brembo (solid) rotors, Hawk HPS pads, SS brake lines and the blue performance brake fluid. honestly, I really never felt that the brakes were that much better than oem.
