STOPTECH Brake discs

All brake discs are now StopTech Black series one-piece, no detriment to performance vs the ATE stock two-piece, the upside is no going orange on the bells or edges like the stock discs do, pads are still PFC Z-Rated and fluid is ATE Type200, no obvious fade for fast road use.

Pros: no obvious fade
Cons: no detriment to performance
Vehicle: BMW

ATE Brake discs

Totally NOT recommending Brembo, totally recommending ATE disks with ATE pads with Ceramic, even cheaper but **much much** better than Brembo, from all standpoints

Pros: much better than Brembo
Cons: not recommending Brembo

ATE Brake discs

ATE disks I get come like this. The nice thing is the bits the pads don't ride on stay rust free for quite a long time due to the coating.

Pros: rust free non-friction areas

ATE Brake discs

I have had a positive experience with ATE rotors from a German brand. I had a bad experience with Bosch brake pads in Europe a few times; they squeaked and made noises at low speeds

Pros: positive experience with rotors
Cons: squeaked and made noises

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
