Brake discs Brembo or OEM Volkswagen

I also did the upgrade (after thoroughly reading the golfdave thread), as I hated how grabby and sticky the stock brakes were. For me, it was totally worth it. The larger front rotors have made the brakes way more linear and easy to modulate. The extra thermal capacity is just a bonus.

Cost me $260 (parts and labor) to have the 4 Brembo rotors installed and the brakes are working great again. I think I am partially to blame for not bedding the pads properly.

I have their drilled discs on my TR6. My dream was Ceriani, forks with disc brakes, I still have a new brembo caliper. They are and were a status item.

The only thing I have done to it before the most recent work was to change out the rotors and pads.

Stock rotors are cheap and effective anything bigger is just for show.

For daily use, go for brembo blanks on your rotors. Oem pads are great for that initial bite but HORRIBLE on dust. I would go for akebono ceramic pads. They need a little more time to be warmed up but they’re great imo. Hardly any dust, super quiet, and they do just fine on my occasional canyon runs.

GTI Clubsport rotors drop 2.2lbs per side at the front

I'm actually running corrado g60 rotors right now that i redrilled to 5 bolt since my last set warped.

I took a look at my breaks and noticed the exact same wear on passenger front. Have SEL-P 4Motion R-Line and only 1100 miles.

Just noticed yesterday my front rotors are pretty scored too - got a screw in my tire and the repair shop commented on the rotors too.
