Brake discs Bosch or STOPTECH

I've had good experience with Bosch Quietcast and Raybestos Element3

It came with 345mm front brakes, having a CC 4-Motion with 345/310 brakes with EBC reds and Tyrol sport guides we wanted the same confident braking in the GTI so we swapped in the 310mm rear brakes/lines. EBC red pads front and rear Bosch rotors front and rear

I’m getting slotted stop tech rotors for my 09 Corolla XRS. Gonna hit some back roads, I’m a very aggressive driver and and very hard on my breaks, also want to do hard backroad driving, so I will benefit from the slotted rotors.

Wagner Pads, Bosch QC Rotors. Duralast pads are made by Durago, available on RockAuto. They’re nothing special but they work fine. I like Wagner brakes, other good options include Bosch, Centric and Reybestos. For materials; Ceramic will be quieter and less dusty. Semi-metallic usually have higher fade point but are noisier and let off a fair it more dust which coats your wheels. I’ve been having good luck with the Bosch Quietcast rotors. Advice High Carbon are probably actually be the best option but are one of the more expensive options. Raybestos coated also seem to hold up decently and are a little cheaper. Just avoid anything drilled or slotted it just acts as a cheese grater and acts as less surface area for the pads to grab.

When it comes to rotors and pads, Bosch Quiet Cast are much better than anything else I've tried in 25 years of XJ ownership.

I think it comes down to the composition of rotor itself, the resilience of the coating and probably manufacturing process, they seem to last and perform a lot better than even the other premium coated rotors I've tried over the years. Similar to OEM German car rotors, they still look like new even after multiple Canadian winters.

I think I did some deep dive research and settled on Bosch quiet cast with Akebono pads. I think I’ve also used eccentric in the past. No complaints with any of the above.

Went with stop tech two piece slotted rotors and EBC yellow pads when I got my 2015 DSG a few years ago. No complaints but there are better pads out there than EBC. First 3-5k miles the yellows squeaked at a 6/10 level probably.

I have Stoptech rotors and EBC Yellow stuff pads. I like the feel, the dust not so much.

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.
