Hawk Performance Brake pads
Latitude48
  • Noise:
  • Dust:
Rating 5.0

I haven't investigated ceramic pads for the Golf R but based on the Hawk Ceramic Compound Performance Pads I have on my A4, which has huge RS4 front calipers and B7 S4 rears, I'd try them as they are quiet, generate negligible dust and are easy on the rotors.

Pros: quiet, negligible dust
Cons: none
Vehicle: Audi A4

If you want more braking performance but don't mind the extra dust, the EBC Yellowstuff pads are my favorite street pad.

Akebono Brake pads

Rating 5.0

The default recommendation will be Zimmerman rotors and Akebono Premium Ceramic Pads.

For the A4 it doesnt get better than this. Low dust, quiet operation, great initial bite, and they last a long time.

Pros: Low dust, quiet operation

ATE Brake pads

Rating 4.0

OEM brake pads from Audi are mostly good for day to day braking, and some sporty, but not daily very aggressive driving. But they do a lot of dust and noise sometimes. I found the solution to be just change the pads for "ATE Ceramic" if you don't use your car to do track days and very frequent sporty driving. These don't have ceramic components, it's mostly marketing, but they do have two good characteristics from Ceramic pads, mostly zero noise when heated and almost zero dust! And the low dust it produces, it's not black. Breaking power it's maybe a little better coming from OEM, but nothing crazy. Do not use sport discs with ATE Ceramic, the brand actually advises to use normal discs with these.

Pros: low dust, low noise
Cons: less breaking power

Mobil Engine oil

Extractor all the way. As for The amount left behind, it is inconsequential if you are maintaining a short oil change interval. I've seen a couple YouTube videos showing maybe 3 or 4 oz left behind.

Pros: easy, short interval
Cons: small amount remains

Continental Tires

  • Grip:
  • Ride comfort:
Rating 4.0

I’ve been buying Conti DWS06, and they’re treadwear rated in the 600s, IIRC. Good all weather traction and they last a while. My Audi A4 Quattro used to eat through tires in short order. At least with these I got 30k-40k miles.

Pros: good all weather traction, last a while
Vehicle: Audi A4
Mileage: 30000 km

OEM Audi CVT transmission

Ten years ago I had a Audi A4 with diesel engine and e-CVT in Germany. Was pretty smooth, no mayor difference in fuel consumption to other equivalent cars. The CVT was a little hacksaw to the fluids. So they had to change three times in the three years I had the car.

Pros: pretty smooth, good fuel consumption
Cons: high fluid consumption
Vehicle: Audi A4
