Brake discs STOPTECH or Textar

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

Went with Stoptech slotted, EBC reds, Stoptech SS lines, Stoptech STR-600 fluid.

Made a night & day difference on my non PP 15 SE.

Granted, I really push the car often in the mountains. But the change to this refresh was immediately noticeable. Fade takes a much longer time to set in. But it will still set in. There's far better options if you push it a lot.

But it's such a massive improvement over stock. Which would have fade set in almost immediately after a few harsher corners.

Rotors are good. Least amount of balancing machining marks I’ve seen on single piece aftermarket rotors.

I used Tire Rack for Stoptech rotors. Not sure if it’s really a bonus but I sprung for the cryo-sportstop. They look great and are smooth. I wouldn’t look at Stillen rotors. They were unbalanced garbage.

Swapped them out for Stoptech drilled/slotted rotors and the problem was better.

I'm using StopTech's 1-piece drilled and cryo-treated rotors and EBC Redstuff pads and have been extremely impressed with their performance on the street.Very good braking and fairly low dust and/or noise.

Green, Been Using Stop Techs Exclusively. Been using Stop Tech rotors for a long time on my MKIII.

I currently use StopTech Slotted rotors with Hawk Ceramic Pads and they work great for a daily driver. Initial bite isn't as good as Hawk HPS but the brake dust is low compared to stock pads and HPS.

I have the non cryo treated stoptech slotted rotors, they're a great affordable option. I run hawk HPS pads. You have them yourself so you know they're also a great affordable option.
