I install aftermarket auto equipment for a living. these are for my personal vehicle. when I opened the box to install the setup, It was only the rear pads/rotors and hardware, I immediately checked to make sure I ordered front and rears, so I clicked on a chat option listed near the item details. explained the situation and had the fronts the next day. minor inconvenience which was handled perfectly imo. I was pleased to see that the kit actually came with new front slide bolt bushings and rears had new rubber slide bolt boots. its only been 2 days but the rotor construction looks good compared to some I have seen. no noise. stops on a dime. if your looking for a somewhat budget setup with drilled/ slotted rotors, I would personally recommend these. just don't be lazy. grease slide points and if it comes with new rubber again don't be lazy.
Had a local shop install on my Wife's 2006 VW New Beetle last week. Honestly didn't notice any difference from the 12 year stock ones that were on there performance wise but they still work. No complaints, great price compared to what the VW dealer was quoting... full kit for rotors and ceramic pads.
I picked this kit up because my pads and rotors were shot and I didn't want to put the money into a "big brake" kit. Do these rotors and pads make a huge difference in performance? Nah. The pads are comparable to other ceramic type brake pads from an auto parts store. The rotors are the same diameter as factory and therefore do not offer any more leverage/stopping power. However they do help stop brake fade at speed and look pretty cool as well. The only issue I had was with the retaining springs that come with the pads. They refused to go on for me but I already had a brake hardware kit from an auto store so it wasn't a big deal.
My car is a 01 Golf GTI, has 288mm front vented rotors and 232mm rear non-vented rotors. These fit perfect.
These rotor and pads look great on my 2000 GTI. Easy to install if you get the rotating caliper push back tool. Make sure to replace the fluid with DOT 4 Super Blue Racing fluid because they will run hot for the first 100km to break in the pads. Make sure to go to their website for exact fitments for your vehicle.
Excellent kit for the money. Stock aftermarket brake pads are roughly 50 dollars per set, so the putting the rotors on top for the price makes this kit quiet a bit cheaper than stock replacements. They work excellent as well, no track use, but when pressed into an emergency stop situation (idiot driver running a stop sign) they work better than stock.

This great product. Used it on my 2003 bettle perfect fit and a great price. Kit comes with all the parts needed, no need to run to Auto Zone for anything else. Love the rotors they have a coating that prevents rust. This kit is a no brainer.
man these are nice... not only work well but look good
This set was easy to install, everything fit perfectly and it gives much better stopping power to my 2004 Jetta. I'm about a month in on driving with these installed and the braking just got better over the first 2 weeks.
These are excellent
Beautiful brakes...perfect for a refresh on a 2005 mk4.
