Brake discs STOPTECH or OEM Volkswagen

For brake discs and pads Stoptech has worked well under both my Expedition and also another Ford vehicle.

I have used StopTech a few times with no issues.

I have the StopTech brand and have been perfect for me this season

I went with the stoptech rotors and brake pads, the brake pads i got from tire rack, and the rotors from buybrakes.com since I have factory slotted rotors

I really like the StopTech rotors I had, but they have gone up in price significantly over the years.

I swapped over from the oem Brembo pads and rotors to project mu pads and Stoptech rotors and it was a definitely worth the upgrade. I got the type PS pads they offer which has less dust than the oem pads, no noise and way better braking performance. Super easy to modulate and paired with 200tw tires your braking confidence goes through the roof and you can really late brake and trail brake easily.

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.

One of my front rotors on my 2019 was showing significant grooving by about 1500 miles. At 12k miles, it isn't really all that much worse. No pulsing or judder.

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.

I was fairly unimpressed that the brand new rotors out of the box have some surface rust. I suspect these have been on a shelf for a long time.
