Put a light cut on em and a set of Brembo pads and sent it. Good to go.
well done vw for letting me get 77k out of the factory pads/rotors
I’ve used kits like this before and that one is spot on. I have Brembo discs and pads on my car now, and do notice a bit more bite from the pedal this time, which is amwbag I was looking for. The downside is the brakes need a bit more heat in them before they’re effective, which is not the case with the Sebro/Textar setup.
Got the OEM brakes installed not too long ago and they’re definitely worth the install. Two year warranty with them at VW.
Looks like a good project. I would be concerned about what you described about the brakes. It could be alot of different things causing that issue.
Pads and tyres affect braking the most, the actual discs themselves matter much less. Just get some higher tier metallic brake pads and you should be good. I would go for Brembo Extra pads personally.
Bei ganz normalen Scheiben (ohne Schlitze und Löcher) wird es kaum einen Unterschied zwischen ATE und Brembo geben. Beim Thema Beläge ist definitiv Brembo besser. Brembo sind aber ehr Performance Beläge, zwar nicht auf Track Level, aber für die erhöhte Leistung ist halt auch mit höheren Verschleiß zu rechnen. Bei einem 0815 A nach B Auto reicht ATE völlig.
Discs are the ones it came with from the factory, pads are Brembo (M Performance brakes on 340i)
Brembos are street pads, they are designed to be low noise and low dust. They’re not for any sort of aggressive driving.
My brakes are overheating when I break the car from around 190kph (118mph) to around 30kph (19mph), I smell the brakes burning and see a lot of brake dust on the wheel. Even the brakes feel a bit spongy for a while after, but it firms back up.
