Brake discs R1 Concepts or OEM Volkswagen

R1 Concepts Brake discs

I ended up buying the drill and slotted rotors from R1 concept and I have the Akebono Brakes. I have had them for a little over a year now and it has been great. My brake power feels better than before and the brake pads are also really great.

Pros: better brake power, great pads
Vehicle: Infiniti Q50

I also did the upgrade (after thoroughly reading the golfdave thread), as I hated how grabby and sticky the stock brakes were. For me, it was totally worth it. The larger front rotors have made the brakes way more linear and easy to modulate. The extra thermal capacity is just a bonus.

Pros: more linear, easy modulate
Cons: grabby and sticky

The rear brakes will be an absolute nightmare. There is not a lot of room. As far as I am aware, MK6/MKV R/R32 brakes are the same, so... prepare yourself for a miserable time doing the rear rotors. The rear pads are fine. The rotors suck ass.

Cons: rotors suck ass, absolute nightmare
