The R32 brakes are A LOT better. You'll like them!!
Passat has stronger brakes, by far. Actually, when I entered Taurus I couldn't believe how weak the brakes are. When I went back to Passat I almost threw myself out of my seat as I stepped so hard on the brake.
I ran DEs on one of my other Corrads and loved them.
my bro. had a turbo VR cabrio running DE brakes and 18" wheels. noticed a little a fade only under EXTREME stop and go conditions. but as far as daily driving goes, they worked very very well.
I got the rear brakes done on my passat yesterday. They did a good job, and I'm pleased with my brakes.
I could give you the part number but you need the caliper tool to wind the piston back . Part number is 1H0698451F . I know its Golf 3 part number but I prefer these to the Golf 4 units . Also just re-use the bolts the strength is overdone for its purpose . I also prefer golf 3 pollen filters as oppossed to Golf 4 ones
I have a 2001 GLX 4 Motion with 50K, and so far haven't had any major repairs, replaced a switch in the dash and the front and rear brake pads.
At low speeds, ASW uses the ABS sensors and brakes the spinning wheels, which will affect the life of the front brake pads (at least, that's how I understand it).
Yes the brakes fit NO wheels really fit over them. - Huge spacers will fix this - not good for your ride. - Brake balance will be grossly forward biased. Lesson: Buy a brake kit designed for your vehicle or just get better pads.
About 10,000 miles ago, I would have been more positive. But now I'm at 40,000 miles now, and I'm ready to dump my '99 GLX at the next problem. - 25,000: rear brakes (my $) - 30,000: front brakes (my $)
