I think I figured out why the brakes are so weird feeling. Even after I got them to firm up, they never really felt like I'm used to in my old STI or 911. I bought OBD11 to make some changes for track and had an ah ha moment. The last change to make was for hydraulic brake assist, but I couldn't get it to work in OBD11 because I didn't have the correct security code. Took a couple of days to find it, but I drove around with the other changes and brakes felt the same. I finally found the code and deactivated Hydraulic brake assistance in the 03 module and they brakes actually work like a normal car now. Holy cow, night and day difference.

Pros: night and day difference

Cons: brakes felt weird

This years projects are all done.. finally got the rear big brakes finished and they came out great.. a lot of work but, brake pedal feel is just as good as with the fronts only, and this thing will make your teeth fly out when you put them down.

Pros: great brake pedal feel

Cons: a lot of work

Vehicle: Volkswagen

switching to a new set of stockers showed me exactly how different the dimensions are. they look the same, but the fit is no where near the correct size for these carriers. the brembo pads bounced around like crazy. its alright i was able to return them but i was hoping to get rid of dust. maybe ill try to get a replacement set and see if they fit any better

Pros: able to return

Cons: dimensions different, fit incorrect, bounced around

just swapped out my original brake pads and rotors for some oem rotors with the brembo aftermarket pads hoping to avoid the dust that the original trw pads creates. all went well with install, everything seemed to fit nicely, but after about 10 miles the pads started jumping up and down in the carrier any time id hit a bump in the road. ive seen the threads talking about this issue with certain aftermarket companies, but figured id put it out there that brembo is another one that seems to have made their pads just a tiny bit shorter than original giving it enough room to slide up and down. side to side is fine, but the noise is unbearable for what it is. threw my oe pads back on and will be getting a new set of vw pads in the am. cant stand the dust but its wayyyy better than the car sounding like it did with those pads. these companies need to include shims or something.

Pros: avoid dust, fit nicely

Cons: pads jump, unbearable noise

There are more choices now for aftermarket pads for the RS. The RS Brembo calipers use a distinct pad shape that isn't common. A lot of guys use Mountune, or EBC. Race Tech, the US Brembo Distributor, has TS20 (track/street) front and rear pads that have better performance and less dust that the stock pads.

Pros: better performance, less dust
