Brake pads ATE or OEM Volkswagen

I took the car to the dealer and they put new rear pads and rotors on.

I used ATE pads, ECS Slotted Front Rotors/plain faced rears, and did a brake flush with ATE Type 200 fluid. Now that my brakes are good and bedded, I can tell there's a significant improvement especially in the rain.

The R32 brakes are A LOT better. You'll like them!!

Passat has stronger brakes, by far. Actually, when I entered Taurus I couldn't believe how weak the brakes are. When I went back to Passat I almost threw myself out of my seat as I stepped so hard on the brake.

I ran DEs on one of my other Corrads and loved them.

my bro. had a turbo VR cabrio running DE brakes and 18" wheels. noticed a little a fade only under EXTREME stop and go conditions. but as far as daily driving goes, they worked very very well.

I had it resurfaced and changed the pads to ATE ceramic pads. Now all my problem are solved.

Rear break pads...

We tow with the van, and load it up with parts to go to shows, and the brakes are not inspring confidence!

I've read some other threads where people have had to replace their brake pads at 20k miles or so, some think it was due to a tight emergency brake forcing the brake assist to clamp.
