Brake pads ENDLESS 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.

I’ve been told by some very experienced S2000 drivers that this is the best braking setup outside of a BBK. It’s streetable as well, if you don’t mind a bit squeaking. Make sure to burnish/bed the pads in beforehand for better performance.

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.

I’ve tried a lot of pads on my ‘18 tS, and by far the best have been Endless SSY. They’re great on the track, grip great, but are also silent and almost dust-free.

its just the pad compound VW is using because everyone get emotional about excessive brake dust..

I don\u2019t have warping or shimmy issues but above 50ish mph when braking I get this loud whirl or hum type of thing. It\u2019s very loud it\u2019s from the rear. I never had this issue on my s3 and it\u2019s the same setup minus the pads. Not sure. I\u2019m thinking of getting golf r or s3 pads and installing them.

Just got back from the dealer who did an inspection and acknowledged the problem and that it was widespread. However, \"all they can do it tell you whether they're safe or not\". Of course, they're safe but they are also embarassing and, to my wife, anxiety producing thinking that the brakes are about to fail. It's an indictment on the factory that they would allow so many reported issues to go unaddressed, and that they would use ****ty brake pads.

Got mine in November of 2021 and have had the same squealing and grinding issue. Sometimes it's a high-pitched whistle. Going to look at the ceramic brake pads that someone suggested, but its a shame that VW does not address.

Bad pads from VW don't ever use OEM pads on Arteon!
