Brake pads Bosch or OEM Volkswagen
Bosch brake pads are good for me in my performance pack.
OEM brake pads are most of times manufactured by BOSCH. So if you can identify the supplier you spend less $$$ for your spares
I believe a division of Bosch’s automobile braking development is in NKY. They did the newish NSX brakes there.
Amazon usually has pretty good prices on Bosch pads if you prefer a brand name.
I did just bad slap my 13 recently with bosch blue caramics, and they have been great too.
I felt the stock 4th gen brake pads didn't grip as tight as would be expected on a 4 caliper brake system. So I replaced them with Bosch ceramic brakes. Highly recommend this to any of yall who feel the same.
If you slam on the brakes above 40 mph (when it is clear and safe to do so), you can feel the blood rush to your face.
My rear breaks also wore out faster. I just had them replaced (1 month outside the extended warranty lmao kms) at 27k km.
The rear brakes did fail earlier than I would've hoped at 26,000 miles, but this is a known issue.
Only issues have been the insanely squeaky brakes, the sound quality on the speakers in the cold and crappy wipers.
I'm convinced the MK6 just has shitty brakes (I mean they do stop but I think they're just bad). I've had 2 of them and they both wear unevenly, hang up, or just in general wear out too quickly.
