Brake pads Carbotech or OEM Subaru
Thiis is what I am contemplating for under $5k strictly for my Golf R to suit my driving needs in the Rockies , New Mexico pleasure driving in the spring and summer, also driving around BC, between Whistler and Kalowna 1) No Engine mods during warranty period or until 2020 ( free !) 2) HPA-Coil Overs ($1500 installed) 3) HPA- Haldex Controller ($1500 installed) 4) New Carbontech 1521 brake pads on OEM rotors ($250 installed) 5) Audi TTRS Brake Hoses ($300 installed) 6) Motul RBF600 brake fluid ($100 installed) 7) HPA-Short Shifter ($250 installed) I am thinking this would not void either the engine or drive train warranty's
Carbotech Bobcats 1521. Simply awesome.
I as well just replaced the oem brakes after almost 7 years. Other than a warrantied sensor, I've not had any issues. Still a blast to drive after 7 years, it still feels new.
Brakes: Golf R front brakes with Tyrol sport bushings, Neuspeed stainless lines, Motul 600 fluid, Carbotech street pads
Anyway, the XP12's and 8's are freakin' awesome. Super bite, modulation and power but they're loud as hell on the street. Personally, I don't mind so I drive everywhere screaming like a banshee.
I LOOOOOOOOOVE my 1521's. Also they look snazzy.
Carbotech 1521's FTW.... Literally you will have to wash your car before you will have to wash your wheels. Unbelievable that pads make so little dust and stop this good.
1521s are insane. They really create next to zero dust.
Yes forgot to mention mine only started this when switching over to carbotech pads. Stock pads I never saw this issue.
The brake pads suck.
