Brake pads OEM Toyota or OEM Volkswagen

I forgot to mention that the Corrado has had the oil and filter changed within the last 300 miles, the brake pads have plenty of pad life, and the tires are in decent shape.

You can also try the harder OEM VW pad in the rear. They'll take longer to wear down than the soft version of the OEM pads and generate less dust. I installed them on mine last year and there is no layer of black dust between car washes. The down side I get noise when there is rust on my rotors but that usually goes away after a couple of braking stops.

Corrado 11 inch brakes should give plenty of stopping power. My Corrado stops on a dime too.

I took the car to the dealer and they put new rear pads and rotors on.

The R32 brakes are A LOT better. You'll like them!!

Brakes were excellent. The pedal was rather easy to push down on with little feedback, but the brakes were very powerful feeling, smooth, and the car stopped straight. Modulation was easy to control. I tried a hard stop and did not provoke the ABS system, nice it only comes into play when I need it.

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.

Rear break pads...

We tow with the van, and load it up with parts to go to shows, and the brakes are not inspring confidence!

I've read some other threads where people have had to replace their brake pads at 20k miles or so, some think it was due to a tight emergency brake forcing the brake assist to clamp.
