Brake discs POWER STOP or OEM Volkswagen

When I was told something similar, I went with Powerstop Z36 extreme tow at just over $600 for both front and rear rotors and pads. I did this at 42,000 im now at 115,000 and still good on same set. I use it as a truck and drive it like a sportscar.

I got my 2008 Acura RL calipers on my 00 TL and I used slotted rotors and Bose brake pads. They bite. So IMO I would get the PowerStop, a very good brand everyone loves.

I've had a set of PowerStop Z23 pads, rotors, and calipers, and I drive my card HARD and still doing just fine 30k miles later. Easily 40-50% left. I used to track my car, pre COVID, and that's about the only straight up abuse I've done. I also drive year round through the winter time. I've never had pads wear down faster because of the rotors being drilled/slotted!

I put on the slotted PowerStop rotors and have been very happy with them.

Used a lot of Powerstop brake rotors and pads and I can say that they worked well for me.

replaced all 4 rotors with Powerstop and works like a charm

Power Stop is a super nice upgrade. Been using on my cars since I started driving. I just upgraded my 16’ Frontier to them last week and it was mind blowing how much better they are than stock.

Well I bought my own brakes and rotors for I think around $400. They are power stop z24 I believe. I have a “brake center of America” nearby and they charged me around $250 for the job.. look for a shop focused around brakes. That may help

I did the powerstop drilled slotted rotors thing on my Outback 3.6 which I’d run on the heavy side on family trips. The Gen 4 Outback’s are known to have poor brake performance and I thought it would be a smart upgrade for extra margin. In the end I wouldn’t recommend. More noise, faster pad wear, premature cracking around the drilled holes on the rotors, questionable performance upgrade.

Service from VW is what made me stop buying them. My wife's Passat was the last straw. We took it in a couple of months after we got the car complaining of a shake in the brakes through the steering wheel. They said it didn't have one even though I knew the rotors were warped.
