I have Macan calipers and rotors, on my Macan. =)
Happy with the StopTech rotors and Redstuff pads I just installed on my GTI after 100k miles. Very aggressive initial bite, never wanting for power. I don't track my GTI.
However, I am disappointed with the brakes on my Macan. I have a 2018 Sport Edition. I am thinking about swapping out pads. I am still under warranty, so if anything goes wrong I know Porsche will blame me. The rear rotors and pads were just replaced, I bought it CPO with about 30k miles. Macan is awesome, no regrets. But I wish the brakes had more bite. The will stop the car, I locked up the brakes at 80mph on the freeway when someone cut me off, you just need to push the mushy pedal very hard. They bite harder when hot. Might work OK on the track.
Anyone think new pads is worth trying? Like the Redstuff? I might just wait for the next brake job. I can tell this car chews through brakes fast.
