Brake discs POWER STOP or OEM Volkswagen

POWER STOP Brake discs

I used powerstop rotors and pads and I used TRQ calipers. Powerstop calipers were backordered at the time. They're all just refurbished calipers that are powder coated so I don't think brand is that important for the calipers anyway.

Pros: easy installation

POWER STOP Brake discs

I literally put these on my 2018 last Sunday and they feel great so far. Broke them in as instructed and they have been smooth riding. Took me about 2 hours taking my time and bleeding the brakes

Pros: feel great, smooth riding

POWER STOP Brake discs

I’ve been running Powerstops front & rear on our Touring since 2021 and they are still braking solid without any issues. I think proper break in procedure is important and this is just a daily. No track or auto crossing. But they panic stop wonderfully and predictably with zero chatter or pull.

Pros: solid braking, predictable

POWER STOP Brake discs

I've had them in my truck for 2-3 years. Through many miles and tons of off-road time (and some very harsh wheeling) on desert and alpine trips, they've held up just fine. The only time I had an issue was when coming down a very long, steep grade (Sonora Pass in the California Sierra Nevada) with about 1,200 lb of cargo in the truck. I started getting some pretty nasty fade and had to pull over for about 20 mins to wait for everything to cool down. That being said, the same exact thing would have happened with any near-stock-size pad+rotor setup, so it's not a fault of the product itself.

Pros: held up well, good for off-road
Cons: fade on steep grades

Just swapped my fronts again at ~43K. Used VW rotors this time, pads are just fine/have tons of life left. It really comes down to pad deposits from my wife's driving this only around town/short trips and being an early braker.

Pros: pads have tons of life
Cons: pad deposits

Put them on my exes tundra. Followed the break in procedure but they soon developed pulsation, as another commenter said. Wouldn’t get them again.

Cons: developed pulsation
