Brake discs Centric or OEM Volkswagen

Those should be a very good combo. I ran Centric rotors on my 2012 Gen2 with good results.

Old shop I worked at swore by centric posi quiets. They bedded in good even when the customer didn't want rotors

I did use a set of Centric rotors on one of the German cars, so far so good.

The front and rear bearings were replaced, new rotors and calipers for both, with mk4 rear calipers and the larger 11.3” driver’s edition calipers and rotors from the brake bible, with their new lines, pads

I'm not a track guy, but centric premium blanks are what I use based on s2ki recs, if your feeling fancy, I've heard good things of girodisk 2 piece rotors. Obviously, tracking you'll want to replace blanks more often, but centric blanks are cheap and plenty.

I put centric coated rotors and Akebono pads on my 2016 and have not had pulsing in 40k.

Just swapped my fronts again at ~43K. Used VW rotors this time, pads are just fine/have tons of life left. It really comes down to pad deposits from my wife's driving this only around town/short trips and being an early braker.

Centric makes ones that are painted black. I clean them up with brake cleaner and tape off the pad contact area, then use engine enamel spray paint to add an additional coat. I’m up in New England and one winter will do this to rotors. I do the same when I have to replace calipers. Lasts at least 3-4 years In my experience

It looks like you got the C-tek ones, which don't have any protective coating on the non-wear surfaces, which is why you see the rust.

I got front rotors and pads replaced do to wrapped rotors, on my 19 sel-r with little over 11k, on my second one have no issues so far
