Brake pads OEM Volkswagen or WILWOOD

I upgraded to the 312 and am happy with the change, it is less grabby.

I upgraded. Made brakes way less twitchy and much more progressive with substantially less brake fade. I highly recommend it.

I've had my black/black 2020 R-Line for 2 months and ~3.5k miles now. I work in sales, and it's great for visiting and entertaining customers. I'd give it a 8/10. Pros: LED headlights are excellent Comfortable ride when cruising on the expressway Comfortably fits four 6-ft plus adults Nice sporty lines for such a large car MPG Lane assist and ACC Huge trunk (for beer league hockey on weekends) Remote start (this'll be huge in the winter) Well appointed for the price Cons: Brakes... no linear feel. It's nothing nothing nothing, then STOP Engine is under powered for a car this size Automatic transmission wants to move too fast for my liking when you release the brake at a stop No visual TPMS (one of my biggest VW gripes. I want to know the actual pressure) Seats don't offer much bolstering, and no lumbar support in the passenger seat Wish the steering wheel telescoped out more. I'm 6'3\" and for ideal leg-room, my arms are nearly at full lock. R-line wheels... they just aren't appealing to me

I have had mine activate the brakes on me, I was at a light behind a car that wasn't moving once it changed to green. I started to just engage first gear and creep up a bit to let them know the light changed and apparently got too close so my car slams the brakes and makes me feel like it's my first time driving a manual.

Did the same as above. Put GLI brakes on my GLS 1.8t. More than enough stopping power. Cheapest way to get good braking.

It's the pad compound and v. common for VWs. Often first thing in morning when there is moisture on them and moreso in reverse. You can do new pads and use something like a ceramic compound, it's a cheap fix.

My 06 GTI had the rears wear out at 70k. The fronts lasted until 135k. I was completely dumbfounded that the rears wore faster and the fronts lasted that long. I replaced everything with OEM parts and am experiencing similar wear on the new stuff.

The brakes started squealing and grinding (like they needed to be replaced) it took me about 2 months to finally get an answer at the dealership. They determined it was a defective brake pad - and the parts are out of stock until Nov. They replaced them with after market parts until the replacement parts came in. They also started making the same noise. It's now December and i still don't have the parts and my car makes noise every day! it's so annoying.. This is my first and last VW that I will ever own.

Back from a 5 day trip and my car was parked with the park brake on. ( Auto brake) The result was the pads stuck ( rusted?) onto the discs. I had to speed up to "break" them loose. Pathetic quality!

only issue I have is the brakes are undersized for this car 10,000km replace under warranty then again at 20,000km.
