Brake pads EBC or OEM Volkswagen
EBC greenstuff pads have always been the best option for my style of driving. They don't fade like oem pads
The EBC FA606HH are a good upgrade. Great feel and initial bite.
I made it to 240k on my ‘19 before I had to change the fronts. I still have 6/32 on the rear pads at 255k now too. The factory pads are crazy good
I upgraded to a two piece rotor (kit reused the stock caliper, I put EBC green pads in) and never had fade problems again.
Slap some EBC RedStuff or YellowStuff Pads on & you'll change your mind quickly.
The Xtra ones are a bit better, harder breaking but will wear a bit quicker. I went with EBC RedStuff pads myself and they’re brilliant but at a minimum I’d be going for the Xtras here if you’re driving it hard.
My rear breaks also wore out faster. I just had them replaced (1 month outside the extended warranty lmao kms) at 27k km.
The rear brakes did fail earlier than I would've hoped at 26,000 miles, but this is a known issue.
I also have squealing brakes when they are cold and reversing. When they're done, I'll have them replaced with good aftermarket brakes.
Only issues have been the insanely squeaky brakes, the sound quality on the speakers in the cold and crappy wipers.
