Not much to say other than they work, and work well. Just came off two track events, one at Road Atlanta two weeks ago, and Roebling last week. Car has tremendous stopping power, and no signs of fade. Can take it way deep into Roebling at turn 1, stomp it and still make it around without rolling 10 times or hitting dirt embankment and launching into woods - this is a good thing. Coming down hill at RA from 130 into 10a another place where good hard stop wants to happen, no issues, and no squiggling or odd behavior. With hard braking there is more vibration with these slotted rotors. No signs of warping yet. At the cost these rotors had better last a couple of track seasons with no warping!
With the weight reduction, R32 brakes work great on the GTI, I have fronts and rears. Note that 17" wheels are a tight fit, I had to clear a minor amount of material off the lower part of the caliper to clear the wheel weights. Nothing serious, just a very mild trim with the dremel.
I weighed them on scale, as advertised they do knock >7 lb off stock R32 rotor. Car feels more like it did with the original GTI rotors, but with FAR better braking. With my lighter weight Enkei's the car feels great. A GTI with stock R32 rotors and 18" Huffs feels quite heavy indeed, not a good combo.
Its actually a snug fit with the stock Huffs:
a Real rotor:
From a real sports car. He loves my GTI, I keep asking if he wants to trade, hasn't happened yet!
