Brake pads Brembo or OEM Volkswagen
The brembos make a big difference.
Brembo SA/SP material for good performance price ratio.
Brembo LA material for longevity vs performance ratio.
I just traded in my 2019 Jetta with 65000 miles, never changed the brakes, but looked at them at 60000. It looks like they were at thick as new, insane. Would stop on a dime.
I've got 160k kms on my front brake pads on my 2012 tdi.
Rear pads I've changed 3 times.
It's got exceptional engine braking.
I use brembro all the time, and they honestly last longer I think. I use them on my 9-3 2.8V6 convertible
Edit: I used the M-tec rotates drilled and grooved with the brembro brakes, front and rear
My braking is much better especially on a long drive with hot days, no brake fade at all
The brakes that come with the performance package have plenty of stopping power and never leave you wanting for more.
I put on some Brembo ceramic pads on the rears and it felt a tad softer braking.
I had Brembo rotors and ceramic pads front and rear on my 2017 V60 T5. Rotors were fine, the pads wore out ridiculously fast. Switched to Akebono pads and was much happier. They lasted literally twice as long.
Brembo may have great stopping power but if this is the shelf life of their products definitely regret optioning them.
Nie wieder Brembo! Bei mir haben sich die Beläge aufgelöst und die Scheiben waren auch nach kurzer Zeit komplett hin. Ich bin ca. 15-20.000 km gefahren und musste dann alles wieder komplett wechseln. Ich war wirklich unfassbar enttäuscht weil ich dachte mit Brembo macht man alles richtig.
