Brake discs POWER STOP or OEM Volkswagen

POWER STOP Brake discs

I bought powerstop drilled and slotted rotors from rock auto back in 2022. 3 years later they weren't even halfway through the pads. I paid $685 for carbon ceramic pads + rotors and accessories. Yes, slightly more dust but I didn't notice any significant wear on the rotors.

Pros: long lasting, low wear
Cons: more dust

A few years ago, I put PowerStop front rotors and pads, and pad slapped the rears on my buddy's 2011 One Hundrert n' Fitty (and flushed his brake fluid and replaced it with DOT4 synthetic). He said it was the best braking feel and performance he's ever had in the truck, and he bought it with 6 miles on the odometer and had pads done previously. He's still using the same stuff, too, rotors are still well within spec several years later.

Pros: best braking feel, great performance

I had these, worked fine in the configuration they send. Don’t put more aggressive pads on and absolutely do not track on these rotors. I put hawk hp+ pads on and did some track driving, cracked the rotors in 20 places…

Pros: worked fine
Cons: rotors crack easily

I replaced mine with Power Stop rotors and pads at about 60k and noticed zero difference in braking after. They also only lasted 20k miles before the rotors started to warp. Just put OEMs back on. Absolutely not worth it.

Cons: rotors warped, no improvement
Mileage: 60000 km

I purchased a 2021 Jetta with approx. 14,xxx miles on it. After a 4 hour drive, I noticed what sounded like an extremely rusty brake rotor sound (metal/metal grinding) as well as the sound of an unbalanced wheel or un-evenly worn tire. A local VW dealership reported that both rear tires were showing major cupping and that the brake rotors were so rusted that they were pitting and would not pass VA state safety inspection.

Pros: none
Cons: rusty brake rotors, cupped tires
Mileage: 14000 km
