Brake pads DIXCEL or OEM Volkswagen

I put brakes from a 2008 R32 on my MK6 gti. They were cheaper than the golf r on ebay at the time. They work really well.

personally i run dixcel z-type pads and a stock rotor with DOT4 fluid and its one of the best upgrade options IMO

You'll find most common needs (brake pads, etc) in stock everywhere, and rarer parts will be easy to find in a day or two.

Mk6 2.5L A/T. They just work. Brakes last forever, no engine or transmission issues, none of the weird mk4 body problems with windows or wipers, just great cars.

These are the best double duty brake pad I have tested so far. I have tried stoptech 309 and EBC blue ndx which will start to fade around 4-5 laps at my local track. The dixcel pads I can not get them to fade at all. Pad life seems okay with mix use but street manners are abit worst than the stoptech and EBC (sometimes squeals and dust alot).

The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.

I'm kind of disappointed with the factory VW pads that came with my 2019. My 2013 ran for 120K before the brakes needed replacement. Also, these pads leave a lot of brake dust on the side of the car.

I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.

The OEM brakes are a little meh as I’ve got the same noise issue as a lot of other Atlas owners have experienced.

The only thing wrong with them are they are too soft, organic pads. Switch to a metallic pad.
