Brake discs Detroit Axle or OEM Volkswagen

I had shake and brake at 30k. warped rotors, replaced the rotors and pad, all good again

I also did the upgrade (after thoroughly reading the golfdave thread), as I hated how grabby and sticky the stock brakes were. For me, it was totally worth it. The larger front rotors have made the brakes way more linear and easy to modulate. The extra thermal capacity is just a bonus.

The only thing I have done to it before the most recent work was to change out the rotors and pads.

Stock rotors are cheap and effective anything bigger is just for show.

GTI Clubsport rotors drop 2.2lbs per side at the front

My Golf R's brakes look like this as well. I have 10K + miles on them but they have been like this since 2-3K miles. I'll say it's "normal". Even though i haven't experienced it with other cars that i can recall.

Eventually it was deemed that the brake discs had become faulty, giving a vibration on braking and there was high speed vibration caused by unbalanced tyres. Front discs replaced, braking vibration gone.

I looked at my wife’s Tig and they look bad as well only 3900 miles.

I took a look at my breaks and noticed the exact same wear on passenger front. Have SEL-P 4Motion R-Line and only 1100 miles.

Just noticed yesterday my front rotors are pretty scored too - got a screw in my tire and the repair shop commented on the rotors too.
