Replacement brake discs
« on: 13 May 2017, 05:44 »
Just bought these for the rear because it was needed ! 2014 GTI with only 13000mls . http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/141934849589?_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
But was going to put new ones on the front at same time ( but the fronts are ok )  should I waist my money or not ?

They look a good buy with pads as well ebc are a decent brand iv had green stuff pads in the past and they do reduce brake dust immensely.
I see these say vented I'm no professional mechanic but are the rears vented???? Im in the wife's scirocco today so can't check mine but normally rears are solid and front discs are vented.

Rear discs are different between GTI and GTI PP. The PP does have vented rears whereas the standard GTI rears are non vented.
So these discs are correct for a PP GTI.

I stand corrected ref the discs thanks...
Red stuff pads are designed more for high performance and more track use I found green stuff  pads a good all rounder for normal use

I have Tarox Strada pads on the front, they have a bit more bite and produce a lot less dust. Have not changed the rear pads yet but I think I will go for the Strada's when I do.

Have used the Strada pads on my old Mk5 TDI 4motion and they were a vast improvement over standard.

My car is the PP.
Think that set up for the rears should be fine. looking at Tarox discs for front  but they are not cheap.

Brake hard with those and I think your eyes will pop out  :shocked:  :laugh:

Seem expensive but will pay for theirselves on the first occasion you use them in anger and stop in time...
