Brake pads Hawk Performance or OEM Volkswagen

slapped on hawk pads and it’s been great way less dust than OEM

I've got 160k kms on my front brake pads on my 2012 tdi.

Rear pads I've changed 3 times.

It's got exceptional engine braking.

I love all the things that set it apart from the standard GTI - suspension changes, VAQ improvements, power and brakes.

Fék csere nem nagyon kell, pedig ez más EVhez képest használja is.

i run dedicated track pads, HAWK HP+ . they are loud and filthy but perform phenomenally well for my skill level.

Not an actual issue, but an annoyance: The brakes make weird sounds (like bad-transmission-in-a-transformers-movie- like warbling) and sometimes even feel grainy, but the vw mechanics can never identify anything wrong with them. It’s worse in the cold, but even happens in moderate weather.

I have had the Tiguan SEL Turbo for a few weeks now. I was reversing out of a parking spot and the brakes locked up thinking something was behind me. Not a soft brake, I thought I backed up into someone. No car or person there? Did it twice and never again.

I went to Northland VW this past spring for my 22 jetta, just for an oil change and inspection. Their oil change was close to $200 and then they said I needed my front brake pads and rotors changed. They quoted me close to $1000 for that, for just the front brakes!!! I went to lordco and bought the parts myself and got a local shop to put them on. Going that route cut the cost in half.

Rear brake pads are terrible. Lots of brake dust and already at 4 mm at 8k miles. I rarely brake hard and have never need to replace rear brake pads before 100k on any other car.
