Brake pads Bendix or OEM Volkswagen

I bought a VR6 4Motion wagon for my mom 4 years ago, and it's still running great. The brakes are a bit overboosted, and are very grabby, but once you get used to it, it's actually not bad at all.

After 217k on my 93 Eurovan I am still on my original rotors. I do change pads every 35-40k usually Bendix

Phaeton brake pads have a sensor attached that when pads have worn sufficiently thin, the sensor will wear through and provide the brake warning light to illuminate. The warning means that you need to replace the pads in the near future.

Rear brake pads replaced at 42k.

oh and i replaced my craptastic wagner thermoquiet pads with bendix pads much better feeling on the pad and the calipers dont seem to get so hot

Hmm, I find my Golf TDI brakes to be excellent. Havent tracked them, but have punished them on occasion with liberal use of power on the highway, even combined with going down hill, and have never experienced fade.

As for the brakes the S2 16v's should take it hands down.

Rear break pads...

The brakes are **** for anything but driving on the street, but most people know that already.

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