Brake pads GALFER 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.

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 order the Galfer e-bike brake pads G1652 from Amazon and they fit really well. Definitely would recommend

Over the weekend I finally got the brakes to cooperate, so it's just about time to get a few test runs in.

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.

Go with the Galfer synthetic and that too will be burnt under 4k km, I have changed twice already in 10k.

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.
