Default Porsche, don't flame me
The Porsche rotors are casted differently than the Stoptechs(China).

You just can't go wrong with a well known manufactor that has been in business for many years and proven itsself to the world.

Default Question for all Stoptech users
I have read on some posts that Stoptechs have a squeling problem no matter what pads they tried switching to.

What are all your thoughts?

Default Difficulty from 1-10 to install the front brakes yourself? Will I need to bleed the
brake fluid too? Probably do that with the VAG.
