Brake discs POWER STOP or OEM Volkswagen

I recently installed 345 and 310 from the mk5 R32 on mine, feels and looks much better.

Install was rather simple and the stopping power is great.

I used the Power Stop Z36 kit. It has drilled and slotted rotors with ceramic pads. It was about $425 for all 4 shipped directly to my house last year. So far they seem great.

Went with power stop rotors and pads. Serious upgrade over stock. Very happy.

I got the powerstop set for the front. Heavy duty drilled/slotted rotors, nice pads and new calipers for 200 bucks.

On a brake related note...anyone know if Power Stop rotors & pads are good quality? Looking to upgrade my stock units and these are pretty affordable on Amazon.

I used powerstop heavy duty slotted rotors. They were great, not a single shimmy after 50k on them. Pads I usually go for a high quality Akebono ceramic.

Mine are 288 fronts (yeah, I measured) and combined with the pitiful rears the whole systems is not (as I've read many times) "sufficient for daily driving". Too many times I've worried I won't stop in time. Too many times I've come down an average hill with definite fade that made me worry should an animal dart out in front of me. I want something akin to my GTI's brakes. Not something that will stop a freight train but just something I know will stop. And stop firm every time. Definitely OEM . I'd rather not have red but whatever I have, it will have to match front/rear. After reading the limited information I can find across multiple forums, nothing has mentioned swapping the front TDI brakes (if they are actually 310mm) over to a 2.5l. It would seem that if the caliper is the same 2.5 to TDI, all you would really need is the rotor and the TDI carrier, correct? Regarding the rears, nothing seems available straight off the OEM shelf, except GTI, correct? Any non-red options there?

I would advise from purchasing Power Stop drilled and slotted rotors and pads. Purchased and installed them. They told me the upgraded rotors and pads would reduce the brake fade I experience from driving a 1999 4Runner with a 3 inch Lift and 32s in the mountains. Initially I saw an increase in stopping power and endurance. Now, 6 months later, I have been experiencing horrible vibrations while braking and at highway speeds. I replaced my pads which were already worn out. Still experienced horrible vibrations. Today I replaced the rotors and have finally been able to brake smoothly and safely. The Power Stop pads wore out in 6 months and the rotors got warped.
