i didn't know we had brembo brakes.
Kwok gave me a source to purchase and got me hooked on those DS2500's. They're still my pad of choice for the front brakes.
My friend has them on his 91 MR2 and he said he can feel the diference from stock and that they squeak a tiny bit during light braking.
The Ferodo DS2000 performed very much the same, but they were much more reliable. No rotors were harmed and they wore at an average rate. They were noticeably more dusty (than the EBC's), but its nothing a garden hose can't cure.
cad plated brembo cross-drilled w/ PBR metal master pads. I'm not nice to brakes (auto-x has a tendancy to do that). But, this set up has lasted me 1.5+ plus. Why should I switch to anything else? And yes, the car is driven year round.
I have brembo's w/mintex I'm happy with performance but they rusted. I will spend the extra $ to get cad plated next time.
Yeah, don't do it if you don't need it. Slotted, cross drilled, and dimpled rotors are not necessary unless you are over heating your brakes. Rotors are nothing but a big heat sink, and if you remove material, you have lessen'd the effectiveness of that heat sink. VW's have very good brakes from the factory, and all you need is a good set of pads for 99% of your cars use. I use stock rotors (Brembo for VR6) and Ferodo pads for daily use, autocross and lapping days. I use Stock rotors and KFP pads for Time trials and Solo I days. Unless you are into wasting money on things that do not actually make your car stop better, stick with stock.
If everything bolted together like it should, the brakes would be great although you might need wheel spacers for the stock wheels as the caliper bodies portude slightly.
I have the TT brakes too, and I installed ferodo! the best pad you could buy... performance there is no comparison, ferodo are for racing aplication BUT, they make a lot of dusk....
I liked my Ferodos, my bro tried the Ferodo DS 2000's and he gave them mixed reviews.
