Brake discs Bosch or OEM Volkswagen

Just the bigger carrier with the bigger rotors on the front. Didn't bother with bigger for the rears. I bought Red Stuff pads.

That being said, it would be great to see a basic writeup with pics of the fronts and rears being changed. I ordered and received some new slotted/drilled rotors with ceramic pads. When ordering, I just used the GTI as the model, since it uses the same brake rotors as the TDI, 312mm F, 272mm R - IIRC. If I have time, I will get some pics and write a rudimentary writeup on it. Not sure if I have time/patience to tackle this myself so I may just have my Audi/VW guy do the work (he has many more tools and 2 lifts). In any case, I will try to get some info and pics in here.

Just discussed this last week. I side with my VW dealer on it. They recommend just replacing the rotors, its really not that much more than having them turned, considering you almost guarantee no pulsation, no shimmy or shudder and more even brake wear.

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.

The rotors and pads I used were Bosch and I'd use them again.

Rallye 1.8T you are the man! Thanks for the tip and saving me a lot of time and money. The mk5 312x25mm rotors work on my setup. Only thing I have to do is run one thin washer between the bracket and spindle.

I'm actually running corrado g60 rotors right now that i redrilled to 5 bolt since my last set warped.

I am happy with the R32 setup so far ( rotors are freaking heavy); but if I was to upgrade it would be either AP or stoptech trophies....

Unfortunately the problem is inherent in the design of the rotors. Not in where they were produced. You can put the best rotors in the world on that car and they will still warp. Vw/Chrysler would need to spec a larger and thicker rotor to help dissipate heat properly. All aftermarkets will make the rotor to fit, based on the crappy oem specs. So, get used to having new rotors put on...because recall or not, Chrysler still needs to redesign that rotor. FYI, I'm in the same boat as you guys! These rotors suck!

The cause is Sub-Standard, Cheap "Made in China" Rotors.
