Brake discs STOPTECH or EBC

EBC rotors (made in England) and Akebono pads (US). My mechanic thought that the rotors were OEM. Nice and thick and able to be cut once. Akebono pads are frequently OEM, quiet, long-lasting and dust free. Only coins this combo costs more than most.

I use stop tech on all my cars, kind of spongy at the very top but other than that they bite hard.

Awesome! I used StopTech. Wanted slotted only, but they shipped me drilled and slotted. Oh and I went on doing the braided steel brake lines too for fun. So far so good ????

EBC has worked well for us on 3 cars already. When time comes our 2020 Tiguan will most likely get the BSD Series Sport Rotor w/Ultra Quiet V Slot Configuration. Had those and the Red Pads on an 03 GS300 and Red Stuff brake pads with some generic slotted and dimple rotors on the back. Excellent and smooth!

The StopTech Zinc Coated Drilled and Slotted Brake Rotors I’m using started their life as Centric 120 (121) blanks: https://www.buybrakes.com/brake-rotors/stoptech-drilled-slotted-brake-rotors-best-price-select-227

- The next step up is the 127 series high carbon rotor, but the cost is 2x the StopTech 227 series Centric 120/121 rotor and performance is roughly the same, only longevity changes as the hat is painted (vs the Zinc coating on the 227). I’ve had this set on my 2013 G37S for a couple of years now and performance is slightly better than stock with almost no brake dust thrown from the 305/308 series Centric pads that ship with the kit.

I got the "stoptech" brand if I remember correctly. They install the exact same as other brands, the difference is higher quality material, and maybe drilled / slotted.

If you were to go with the Zimmerman rotors (I wouldn't go drilled, only slotted/dimpled/blank) and ATE or Textar pads you can run them until they're dead, pay shipping to/from FCP and they'll send you another set. I personally have slotted StopTech rotors on my MK7R and they've been awesome. Even with 5 track days, multiple winter's and a lot of street miles with track pads installed they're still in great shape.

I have had a great experience with my Centric (Stoptech) high carbon cryo-treated plain rotors, stoptech street pads, RBF600

i run ebc front rotors, dba rear rotors and powerstop pads brakes good but my fronts squeal when cold (my car has brembo calipers)

I've been running EBC rotors for a few years now. They are very loud when braking. Sounds kinda like a rattlesnake. I drive with my windows down alot, so I hear it. I probably won't ever get the EBC again.
