Brake discs DBA or OEM Volkswagen
I used DBA rotors, I swapped them into my 2014. (Got the entire working set for $900 lol)
Installed the new DBA T3 Rotors, Project MU B force pads, Stop tech stainless steel brake line, Radium Master Cylinder brace, full fluid flush with Motul RBF 600 on the STI. wow……..
I slapped the DBA T2s on the front of [my car](https://www.instagram.com/p/ClchkHzyEFG) with Project Mu pads, feeeeels good
if you're going to take it back to the dealership, ask them to mount a different set of wheels and tires to eliminate that finally.
also, when was the last time your brake disks were replaced? it's not uncommon for brake dust to build up in the rotor and cause an imbalance. simply use compressed air or water to clean out the inside of the disk and see if it improves.
just as i hoped my front rotors were warped. new oe ones solved my problem now no shaking from the front.
My DBA T2-T3 are coated and have no rust on them after over 5k km.
Eventually it was deemed that the brake discs had become faulty, giving a vibration on braking and there was high speed vibration caused by unbalanced tyres. Front discs replaced, braking vibration gone.
Mine are 288 fronts (yeah, I measured) and combined with the pitiful rears the whole systems is not (as I've read many times) "sufficient for daily driving". Too many times I've worried I won't stop in time. Too many times I've come down an average hill with definite fade that made me worry should an animal dart out in front of me. I want something akin to my GTI's brakes. Not something that will stop a freight train but just something I know will stop. And stop firm every time. Definitely OEM . I'd rather not have red but whatever I have, it will have to match front/rear. After reading the limited information I can find across multiple forums, nothing has mentioned swapping the front TDI brakes (if they are actually 310mm) over to a 2.5l. It would seem that if the caliper is the same 2.5 to TDI, all you would really need is the rotor and the TDI carrier, correct? Regarding the rears, nothing seems available straight off the OEM shelf, except GTI, correct? Any non-red options there?
I looked at my wife’s Tig and they look bad as well only 3900 miles.
I took a look at my breaks and noticed the exact same wear on passenger front. Have SEL-P 4Motion R-Line and only 1100 miles.
