Brake discs EBC or OEM Volkswagen

I personally went with some EBC rotors and pads. Front and back with new brake lines cost me about 1k but I\u2019m tuned and plan on making the car even faster.

I just installed EBC slotted rotors and Akebono ceramic pads front and rear on my '15 Passat. You can believe I will be warrantying them replacing them through FCP when the time comes.

I've had the EBC reds up front with the larger A8 rotors. No dust, no vibrations and they have lasted a long time.

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.

The stock front rotors have fairly significant heat spots and slight warping. I do mostly spirited street driving with some track use but obviously heat dissipation has been an issue, given how hefty the car is. Looking to upgrade the rotors and pads to more performance oriented options while hoping to keep the level of noise and dust relatively low.

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

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.
