Just get slotted, drilled are prone to hot spots and cracks.
Try EBC instead. Also very good.
I did mine pretty early solely because the OEM rotors were wearing like a vinyl record. Both the pads and rotors still had plenty of material—it was just a bad wear pattern. I went to Girodisc pads and rotors and have had them on happily ever since.
I have EBC rotors and Redstuff pads right now and am quite happy, but I had R1 and Powerstop previously.
Did a set of EBC slotted rotors and RedStuff pads on our 7.5 GTI and it's changed how the car brakes entirely. It's got a real consistent bite without bleed off.
Was also thinking of doing EBC dimpled and slotted rotors, just to not worry about potential drilling rotor issues.
Full suspension upgrades - this car handles like a dream! new EBC racing/red brakes with drill/slot rotors.
I’m happy with the EBC rotors and red pads but I can’t get them to stop squeaking.
why not switch to 2 piece giro disc slotted rotors or ap racing j hooks
Just run em’ after you grind it off. For a daily I would never run drilled. Noisy, water intrusion points, eat up pads, spider crack at the drill holes from water hitting a hot rotor, and you’ll be lucky to find a shop to turn them once they warp which is going to happen.
