I stopped buying parts store pads and ordering my pads/rotors online. For my 05 GTO I run DBA T3 rotors and Carbotech Bobcat 1521 pads, which is an awesome combo for such a heavy car. I also found that by ordering online I can order a full rotor and pads kit for my wife's car that is way better in quality and performance. Driving in Mexico city is very hard on brakes , so good brakes are a must. We have Autozone here but I don't like the quality of the stuff they sell and for the price I would pay just to do the fronts here I can order the front and rears in the states. Not to mention DOT 4 is dang near impossible to find, to make things even worse the OE VW stuff is more expensive here than in the the US even though most VW parts are made here. Since I have to go back to the States every 180 days its no big deal for me. All that being said I don't mind spending more $$$ for quality brake and being able to safely stop, than saving a few bucks and having an accident.
