Brake discs Textar or EBC

EBC Brake discs

Did a set of EBC slotted rotors and RedStuff pads on our 7.5 GTI and it's changed how the car brakes entirely. It's got a real consistent bite without bleed off.

Pros: consistent bite
Cons: bleed off
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Was also thinking of doing EBC dimpled and slotted rotors, just to not worry about potential drilling rotor issues.

Pros: no drilling rotor issues

EBC Brake discs

I had this when I fitted ebc discs on my Cupra. It's went on for a few hundred miles but then went away. I think it's something to do with the grooves. My thinking was they maybe had a little lip or something that eventually smoothed off.

Pros: noise went away
Cons: initial noise

EBC Brake discs

Just run em’ after you grind it off. For a daily I would never run drilled. Noisy, water intrusion points, eat up pads, spider crack at the drill holes from water hitting a hot rotor, and you’ll be lucky to find a shop to turn them once they warp which is going to happen.

Cons: Noisy, water intrusion points
