Brake pads JURID or OEM Volkswagen

Plus, in real world driving, they stop on a dime. They scrub off speed really well - I've had a couple of saves thanks to these.

The brakes are worth every cent. They're an order of magnitude more powerful and confidence inspiring than my MK6 GTI.

The brakes themselves have radically better cooling ability in the rear, and much improved in the front. The brakes have more effective leverage form the bigger diameter, so you have to push less firmly on the pedal to get the same stopping power as a regular GTI. The difference in brake feel is quite substantial.

I have the R brakes on my car, those were fairly easy to sourse as they can be bought remanufactured off Rockauto and they are also available as Passat VR6 brakes but no one seems to note that. Also the CC with the VR6 has them stock. Those can be found at scrap yards but agian everyone searches R brakes but the other models are the same just not painted blue. I found my kit on ebay for 750$ and it had everything for the swap, front and rear also rotors and calipers and caliper carriers. To me that is a good bang for the buck in terms of improvement in braking that I saw and the cost associated even if I would have gone with new hardware.

I just got my first W12 Phaeton back from the dealer after her 141,621 mile service. Total cost for thorough once over, cleaning out of sunroof drains, repair of brake pad warning light due to corroded wire

Brakes feel really grabby, brake very well IMO

My brakes are also "grabbier" and harder to modulate than my '16 GTI (312mm), which had great brake feel.

When I picked her up, I was told my front and rear brake pads are all down 1mm already. At this rate I’ll likely need to replace them around 15k. I thought this made sense for the front pads since they’re the JURID high performance ones, but the rears being worn that much seemed strange. I don’t drive fast/brake hard/etc, never track, or do anything otherwise that should wear my brakes prematurely.

Also, the steering wheel had a good amount of vibration when applying the brakes. Told the dealer about it, and they came back to me and told me absolutely nothing was wrong and my brakes were perfect.

Ugh, somehow these pads are even dustier than the stock pads on my STI. I didn't know that was possible.
