Brake discs Bosch or STOPTECH

I've had Stoptech slotted rotors and EBC Reds for three or four years now. They've been great!

StopTech Sport Slotted rotors have taken a ton of abuse for me and I can't recommend them highly enough

daily driving, you can get a full set of bosch pads from rock auto for ~60$. I like stoptech slotted rotors to help get debris off the pads. they also hold up a bit better than standard blanks. drilled rotors are mostly for looks and can crack much easier under heat unless you are spending big bucks on a high end rotor, which imo isn’t worth the cost.

I have the Stoptech Z23 slotted and drilled rotors with carbon ceramic brake pads. Overall, I’m happy with them. The biggest complaint is that they use undersized brake pads, which is a feature that performance pads have in order to accommodate expansion under high heat. Because they’re undersized, when you brake in the opposite direction that you brakes last, they will “click” as they shift slightly inside the caliper. They don’t do it while driving unless you change direction, but I would have considered less aggressive pads if I knew they would do this. That said, I have had zero issues and great braking performance in spirited driving and emergency braking, over the last 45K miles or so.

I upgraded to stoptech drilled rotors with the posi quiet pads. I'm happy with the performance on street for spirited driving, and they create much less dust than my old Hawk HPS pads.

After 160k miles, finally changed the brake rotors. Got the Bosch Quietcast rotors and paired it with the Bosch Quietcast brake pads. Was a pretty simple project, and would highly recommend! Haven’t heard a squeak or anything. Definitely “quiet.”

I recently went with Bosch branded discs and pads for an E46 330i M Sport. So far, so good.

I use stoptech cryo slotted rotors front and rear, stoptech stainless lines front and rear, and stoptech sport pads and I have been very happy. No squeaks, squeals, and very little dust. After my last track day they did go a little wonky on me but I took an afternoon to go get them a little hot again on a fun drive and they straightened out for me. No vibration/wonky wheel ever since. They have worn nicely and I had it all installed back on Aug 3, 2017.

Just put the same exact rotors on. With Hawk pads and SS brake lines too. Love it so far.

At ~4,000 miles, I bought a set of StopTech (front) drilled+slotted rotors (non-PP) for my GTI and kept my OEM brake pads. Everything was fine up until recently (~2,000 miles later). I now hear a high pitch "squealing" noise at very low speeds. This happens right when I'm about to come to a complete stop (1-3 mph).
