Best Brake pads for Volkswagen Jetta
Overall, the brakes feel pretty solid just from rolling it around in my driveway, but the car hasn't been on the road yet as it's not registered/inspected.
Stoptech brake test mounted to the spindles. I buffed off the Stoptech logo with buffing compound. I prefer the understated look.
Brakes were great, no fade issues(Hawk Ceramic 5.0 pads up front, stockers in the rear) running Motul RBF. Mixed conditions so I had a little of everything, rain, drying, damp. NO bias problems at all, no issues w/the ABS doing funky things. The car didn't want to throw itself off track or anything like that, even in the rain. Just very progressive feel. They put up with me having to trailbrake the crap out of this car so I figure they did ok.
Same, with a 2015 on stage 2 tune it can be pretty quick and on road trips with the cruise set to 70 it can pull some pretty fantastic fuel economy.
Finally got around to getting my brakes installed. I've barely put 10 miles on the setup, and the improvement is quite noticeable. Initial bite is improved, and much less effort is required for the same braking force.
Hawks HPS 5.0, that's what I have on my Jetta, that's what I'll be putting on the Camaro soon.
Carbotech XP10 Front Pads Only - USED - $45 shipped to U.S. lower 48 -these are proper endurance racing pads (popular in Spec Miata, Spec E30, etc), I wouldn't try to use these on the street -used for 2 track days on my '09 TDI -11.6mm of friction material remaining (approx 85%)
Some mk6's have the 272mm rotors and some have the 253mm. I found out the hard way when I ordered the standard Stoptech Street Performance pads. Had to reorder.
I managed to install my brake pads inside out on the rear of my MkIV Jetta. Noisy.
