I'm very happy with Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors.
I went aftermarket with centric posi-quiet pads or Bosch quiet cast. Won’t ever go back to factory.
You'll find most common needs (brake pads, etc) in stock everywhere, and rarer parts will be easy to find in a day or two.
I did Bosch quiet cast pads and rotors on the front on my 12 a couple months back. I’m happy with them.
Mk6 2.5L A/T. They just work. Brakes last forever, no engine or transmission issues, none of the weird mk4 body problems with windows or wipers, just great cars.
Brembo, bosh and a few others mentioned in another comment are all really good too.
its just the pad compound VW is using because everyone get emotional about excessive brake dust..
I don\u2019t have warping or shimmy issues but above 50ish mph when braking I get this loud whirl or hum type of thing. It\u2019s very loud it\u2019s from the rear. I never had this issue on my s3 and it\u2019s the same setup minus the pads. Not sure. I\u2019m thinking of getting golf r or s3 pads and installing them.
I have 4,800 miles on a 2023 MK8 and my brake pads are sticking to the rotors.
I’m not a mechanic by any means (I do try to work on my car myself for what I can fix and know how to do) but I’m gonna throw my own car under the bus and say VW. Why tf do I need specialized tools, and why do barely any after market parts fit my car?
