Title: Brake pads
Post by: Tornado8 on 07 October 2020, 19:59: I'm changing discs and pads all round soon. Going for Brembo OE discs but undecided about pads (so many out there). What do you think out there. Are the endurance MX 72 worth paying extra, or there other's worth considering? Thanks in advance.

Are they an improvement over stock?

Good pedal feel, not too much dust and last well.

Omg I didn't know that was a thing, I need those next time!. My MK7 is more of a weekend car as I use a van for work so rusty discs have plagued me forever

I’ve just fitted some to my X5 even and as Carbon above mentioned they are coated to hopefully stop the rusting of the bell part etc.

Post by: Tornado8 on 15 October 2020, 18:01: I'm going for the OE discs and brembo x pads. In have a 2013 pp and it seems the same pads are listed for the standard gti even though the front discs are 340mm compared to 312mm. Is this correct?
