I just fitted DBA rotors (slotted) with Akebono ceramic pads to my F22. DBA does a few different styles for different applications. If you're mainly streeting your car, you generally don't need drilled. Dust and noise is almost non existent with these pads, with a little more bite than OEM.

Pros: low dust, low noise, good bite

I'm running the DBA Street Series T2 slotted rotors and EBC Yellow pads with steel braided lines on my STI Brembo's. Works great for me on track, touge and street. They do squeal during the break-in period fyi.

Pros: Works great on track
Cons: squeal during break-in

I've recently installed the DBA Street Series - T2 Slotted. Very happy with them so far, early days, but DBA does have a good rep. Priced well too.

Pros: happy with them

My son has a '19 R Line and had a similar issue. Turns out the front rotors had warped slightly. Shouldn't happen, but seems to pop up now and then on these vehicles for whatever reason.

Cons: front rotors warped slightly
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I had the same with my GTI 2015 manual, I was braking less because I was using the engine brake a lot. At 8000 km I made a complaint at the dealer, they changed the discs, and suggested that I brake harder

Pros: dealer changed discs
Cons: braking less, engine brake
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 8000 km

my brakes started to vibrate a bit when braking at or above 70mph, and it's only progressively gotten worse. From the first inspection (always at the same dealer I bought it from), I've asked the techs to double check the rotors, as it just didn't seem right to me, but they always brushed it off as normal and no big deal. I just took it in for an inspection (now at 22,700~ miles), and they tell me that yes, my rotors are warped, and that I'll need to replace the rotors and pads to alleviate the issue.

Pros: no issues with pads
Cons: rotors warped, vibration when braking
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 32000 km

Shaking issues happened around 20k. Replace the front rotors 526+ tax, and rear rotors need to be replaced soon (30k)... The quality of the OEM part is not good

Cons: quality not good
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 20000 km
