Brake pads POWER STOP or Carbotech
Power stop brakes z36 towing brakes. Stops my fully armored truck with drawers pretty well
Really, stock everything is fine for your needs, second the advice on slotted/drilled. If you insist, Rockauto sells power stop upgrade pads that are good also.
Bought my power stop Z26 from them - amazing and quality
Powerstop brakes are great. I had them on my Stealth and two other of my vehicles.
I’ve got over 40,000 miles on my Powerstop drilled/slotted rotors and their pads. This is the second vehicle I’ve used them on. They improve stopping distance, almost no brake dust and they wear really well.
I replaced my front brakes with PowerStop products. Very happy with them after about 20,000 miles. No issues.
I really liked the power stop line on my drag car, so I did them on my wife's car to replace the Brembo pads and rotors and used them on my GC and have been very happy with their performance. used to throw the old car around the dragon in the NC mountains with a lot of quick heavy braking and never had fade. I have had them on both daily drivers for 6 years now.
I put a full set of power stop ceramic pads and their drilled rotors 40k miles ago, and they are still great as well.
Hey, I track. MK7.5! The floating calipers flex which means you get more pressure on the outer half of the rotor. It's annoying but it's not a problem in my experience.
Something like a Carbotech XP12 pad might do better with the heat but adding brake ducts from the RS3 is cheap and will help quite a bit.
Girodisc should have a 357mm disc available when you've gone through the OE rotors. They're slotted instead of drilled and are 2 piece (aluminum hat).
Yes forgot to mention mine only started this when switching over to carbotech pads. Stock pads I never saw this issue.
