I have the Stoptech Z23 slotted and drilled rotors with carbon ceramic brake pads. Overall, I’m happy with them. The biggest complaint is that they use undersized brake pads, which is a feature that performance pads have in order to accommodate expansion under high heat. Because they’re undersized, when you brake in the opposite direction that you brakes last, they will “click” as they shift slightly inside the caliper. They don’t do it while driving unless you change direction, but I would have considered less aggressive pads if I knew they would do this. That said, I have had zero issues and great braking performance in spirited driving and emergency braking, over the last 45K miles or so.

Pros: great braking performance
Cons: undersized pads, clicking noise
Mileage: 45000 km

I use stoptech cryo slotted rotors front and rear, stoptech stainless lines front and rear, and stoptech sport pads and I have been very happy. No squeaks, squeals, and very little dust. After my last track day they did go a little wonky on me but I took an afternoon to go get them a little hot again on a fun drive and they straightened out for me. No vibration/wonky wheel ever since. They have worn nicely and I had it all installed back on Aug 3, 2017.

Pros: no squeaks, little dust, good wear
Cons: warped after track use

2008 Passat V6 4-MO front rotors, calipers, caliper brackets, and brakelines are plug and play. You get a factory BBK with 345mm rotors and calipers with a slightly bigger piston....as to not screw with the MC and brake balance too much.

Pros: plug and play

I had the same with my GTI 2015 manual, I was braking less because I was using the engine brake a lot. At 8000 km I made a complaint at the dealer, they changed the discs, and suggested that I brake harder

Pros: dealer changed discs
Cons: braking less, engine brake
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 8000 km

Shaking issues happened around 20k. Replace the front rotors 526+ tax, and rear rotors need to be replaced soon (30k)... The quality of the OEM part is not good

Cons: quality not good

Mileage: 20000 km

Our rear rotors are garbage. The front seem fine but i can see rust marks for where my pads rest when i park it for the weekend. Im researching our incredibly limited options on rear rotors at the moment.

Cons: rear rotors are garbage
