Brake discs POWER STOP or OEM Volkswagen

POWER STOP Brake discs

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

Pros: cheap shipping cost

Just bought the powerstop rotors and oem break pads and they worked great. Just make sure buy the squeak shims or they make noise.

Pros: worked great
Cons: make noise without shims
Part number: JBR1900XPR

Powerstop drilled/slotted on mine for like 70k and they’ve been great. Oddly enough it looks like the fronts will outlast the rears.

Pros: they've been great

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

Pros: they work great
Cons: prone to warping
Vehicle: Infiniti Q

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.

Cons: iffy chamfer, needs frequent inspection

OEM Volkswagen Brake discs

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.

Pros: aftermarket pads planned
Cons: atrocious grind and squeak, nasty groove
Vehicle: Volkswagen
