Brake pads Brembo or OEM Volkswagen
I have a 2001 GLX 4 Motion with 50K, and so far haven't had any major repairs, replaced a switch in the dash and the front and rear brake pads.
the brakes are pretty damn awesome for a stock car too.
yeah my ABS light is always on in my jetta ..... the brakes work great but sometimes (very rarely) i can feel the brake pedal trying to move back up when i press it very softly coming to a very slow stop
i didn't know we had brembo brakes.
My friend has them on his 91 MR2 and he said he can feel the diference from stock and that they squeak a tiny bit during light braking.
Thank goodness the brakes are superbly balanced -- else I'd be burping the ABS system too.
cad plated brembo cross-drilled w/ PBR metal master pads. I'm not nice to brakes (auto-x has a tendancy to do that). But, this set up has lasted me 1.5+ plus. Why should I switch to anything else? And yes, the car is driven year round.
I have brembo's w/mintex I'm happy with performance but they rusted. I will spend the extra $ to get cad plated next time.
If everything bolted together like it should, the brakes would be great although you might need wheel spacers for the stock wheels as the caliper bodies portude slightly.
