Brake discs Duralast or MEYLE

Duralast Brake discs

I like the duralast gold brake rotors. They have a really nice coating to help prevent corrosion, if you’re in the north east I really recommend them. They do need to be bedded once installed to get rid of the coating on the braking surface of the rotor. You pretty much just get the car up to 20mph and hit the brakes a little aggressive, you do this a few times each time increasing your speed. It comes with clear instructions how to do it.

Pros: nice coating, prevents corrosion
Cons: needs bedding

Dynamic Friction are great with ceramic pads, only complaint is cosmetic, they do not coat the rotors so after some rain the inside hub of the rotors starts to rust. Purely cosmetic, great rotors! I drive them fast regularly and they perform better than OEM

Pros: better than OEM, great performance
Cons: cosmetic rust

when I did the brakes on my ‘17 GTI about 20k miles ago I used Duralast Gold rotors and pads from AutoZone. Low dust, low noise, stop fine and the rotor hubs are coated so they don’t rust in five minutes. They’ve been perfectly cromulent.

Pros: low dust, low noise, stop fine

I use Duralast Gold rotors on my two endurance race cars - they are great. I wouldn't expect the basic ones to be anything special, but they should work just fine.

Pros: great for endurance racing

My '21 brakes started shaking around 20K miles as well. I installed Dynamic Friction coated rotors and ceramic pads from Rockauto. They have lasted longer than the stock OEM brakes with similar performance.

Pros: Longer lasting, similar performance
Cons: Shaking brakes

I've also got a Type R and Rock Auto does sell one-piece blanks for our cars. They're made by Dynamic Friction. I had a pair of two-piece Paragon front rotors that I bought used but sold them to keep consumables cost down. They did well on track. Haven't tracked the blanks yet, but am registered for an event in August.

Pros: good on track, cost effective

Part number: 60459065 FRONT AND 60459067 REAR

I had them on my Z32 a few times, not bad, I wouldnt do track days with them, (well I did once they warped). But outside of that, for daily they are fine.

Pros: fine for daily use
Cons: warped on track
Vehicle: Nissan

That's likely the lowest possible grade of rotors I've seen in a while. Lathe marks are too rough, and the casting is bad.

Cons: lowest grade, rough lathe marks, bad casting

I did the fronts with \"Duralast.\" They produced a HORRIBLE shudder when braking. I replaced them with the same this and the issue was the same. So, I bought OEM pads/rotors and the issued COMPLETELY went away.

Cons: horrible shudder when braking
Vehicle: Volkswagen
