porksoda, thanks for your reply, the reposting of the codes and recommendation.
I have the 2EA for the rears (1LJ for the fronts but not planning on replacing those yet). I found two options from Zimmermman:
- Cross drilled rotors, 330mm $94/per
- Coated version, not drilled (the ones you referenced in your reply) $66/per
I'm most interested in overall better braking as the car is daily driver for my son and doesn't need track brakes so I'm thinking that the coated version is fine. I've dismissed the idea of a larger rotor as it requires a caliper change and I'm not interested in taking it that far.
Reading posts about redstuff, ceramic, etc... any recommendations for a solid pad?
Thanks in advance for your advice.

I agree the crossdrilled mostly for looks, i got the solid zinc coated ones as well and changed fronts and back at the same time.

porksoda,
job complete, pretty straight forward.
curious, what does the coating do? I noticed after I test drove around the block that the coating seems to come off.
Also, this might be common sense for everybody but me, but for those thinking of doing this job: there is a pad (or pads) in the set that have a notch in it for the sensor. I didn't think about that until I had mounted the ones with a notch on the passenger side. Start with the drivers side first and you won't have a problem

Also another good thing on the rotors is the bevel at the outer edge, if your brakes were worn out like mine, I had to pry the pads to remove them as the OEM rotors left a huge lip!!
Heh yeah sensor on driver side for both front and back!
Vagcom operation was easy to use (to retract the ebrake cable), I also found that the car going to sleep was ok for the vagcom operation between retracting and applying the ebrake.
cheers

The black coating also has anti-squeal stuff in it.
