Brakes i try and stick with Brembo, they seem to be the best from all the ones I've tried on the race bikes, they do enough compounds that you can really fine tune what type of riding you're doing as well.

Pros: best, fine tune riding

I think I figured out why the brakes are so weird feeling. Even after I got them to firm up, they never really felt like I'm used to in my old STI or 911. I bought OBD11 to make some changes for track and had an ah ha moment. The last change to make was for hydraulic brake assist, but I couldn't get it to work in OBD11 because I didn't have the correct security code. Took a couple of days to find it, but I drove around with the other changes and brakes felt the same. I finally found the code and deactivated Hydraulic brake assistance in the 03 module and they brakes actually work like a normal car now. Holy cow, night and day difference.

Pros: night and day difference
Cons: brakes felt weird

Bosch Brake pads

I've used the cheapo Wearever rotors/pads from autoparts stores, and the Bosch Quietcast. Hands-down, as long as I can afford it, I will be using QuietCast if it's available.

Pros: affordable, readily available

I went with Bosch QuietCast rotors and pads . The Akebono pads performed well, but wore out faster than I'd expected. I don't know if the low wear on them caused scoring of the rotors or if it was the calipers not doing a proper job... but I did not detect a loss in brake performance, which was really strange. This was happening to the rear, so maybe the front end brake system was compensating.

Pros: performed well, no loss in performance
Cons: wore out faster, rotor scoring
Vehicle: Audi A3

This years projects are all done.. finally got the rear big brakes finished and they came out great.. a lot of work but, brake pedal feel is just as good as with the fronts only, and this thing will make your teeth fly out when you put them down.

Pros: great brake pedal feel
Cons: a lot of work
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I suggest you read reviews of a guy that went with TT RS brakes on his car. It's got what IMO are some bad side effects... I think they're complete over kill for our car.

Pros: sexy, huge potential
Cons: front brake bias too high
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Replaced front and rear pads with Bosch quietcast ceramic pads. Greased the back of the pads and slides. Pads squeak obnoxiously when cold. So when I roll out of my driveway and brake it’s loud. Then down the street I brake and it’s loud. But once I get rolling onto the main road and they warm up it makes no noise.

Cons: squeak when cold
