Brake discs POWER STOP or OEM Volkswagen
Damn, they must be for a truck or something, I literally just yesterday got my Powerstops rotors shipped to me from RA (bought a few days ago) with a couple other small things in the same order/box and it was only $20 for the shipping, that\u2019s crazy
I\u2019m buying a set of Powerstop coated rotors and Akebono pads for my accord to put on in the spring.
Just got the front brake upgrade. Calipers, Powerstop Z23 rotors and pads. Runs smooth now.
Don\u2019t get the Powerstop drill slotted rotors. Get their regular rotors. I had them on my \u201819 2.0t and they were remarkable brakes.
Just bought the powerstop rotors and oem break pads and they worked great. Just make sure buy the squeak shims or they make noise.
Powerstop drilled/slotted on mine for like 70k and they’ve been great. Oddly enough it looks like the fronts will outlast the rears.
I have the powerstop z26 on my q, would recommend regular rotors unless u want that sporty look- they are prone to warping if not done right. Idk what i did wrong on mine, they work great but im 90% they warped within the first month
My stock rotors (metallic pads) lasted 9 years and a track day. My ebay drilled/slotted rotors (ceramic pads)lasted 9 years and a handful of track days; they didn't crack the chamfer was just looking iffy. My latest set is from Amazon, powerstop branded drilled/slotted rotors (ceramic pads); have survived 1 track day, 1 light hdpe day and are on year 3. If you get drilled (any brand), you need to inspect the rotors more often.
Power stop is ass. Have had their rotors develop tons of micro cracks before
Not only does my '22 SE have the most atrocious grind and squeak all of you know, i have a nasty groove in one of them. I'm going to all new rotors and aftermarket pads when it comes time.
