Brake discs STOPTECH or DBA

DBA rotors with hawk pads

2021 Macan brand new from Porsche ,front brake caliper upgrade grade with new DBA rotors and pads with sensor, and braded brake lines that all work with the R. All done a month ago with paper work.

I have Stop Tech slotted rotors on the front, still new in box for the rear. Same thing with stainless braided lines.

I have these rotors on my C6. Haven’t had any issues with them.

I have used DBA 2 piece rotors. They worked well in an endurance racing Mustang.

Only installed dba dimpled and slotted rotors with bendix suv pads. Better bite than standard. Only had it for 1000km while towing my 4.5m tinny. Cant help with longevity

Dba t2 and hd pads. So much better than the hilux oems and at 100k km on the rotors now and changed pads once

This is the combination that worked for me - Akebono 370z calipers - 2 piece floating DBA rotors w/ aluminum hats - Winmax W6 pads - 3" ducts from front bumper to backside of the hubs. An advantage to the aluminum hats is it really reduced heat transfer into the hubs, improving the life of the bearings. The floating design helps prevent warping and cracking from the stress of all the thermal cycling.

At ~4,000 miles, I bought a set of StopTech (front) drilled+slotted rotors (non-PP) for my GTI and kept my OEM brake pads. Everything was fine up until recently (~2,000 miles later). I now hear a high pitch "squealing" noise at very low speeds. This happens right when I'm about to come to a complete stop (1-3 mph).

My experience with my 2015 - non-PP - is that the pads are about the worst that I have ever experienced. Material transfer on the front rotors was a constant problem...this stopping from 75 mph at the bottom of a long highway ramp...the pulsating changed in sync with how hot the day was and how hard I was using the brakes...I do not drive this car hard. I replaced everything.
