Planing on going with the green stuff brake pads. 20% off! Sale ends today guys.
Jetta has been relatively trouble free but a few quirks here and there. Sometimes the electronics glitch and then figure themselves out. For some reason my car burns through bulbs like crazy, especially the rear lights. Rear brakes had to be replaced around 30-35k. However, the car is an absolute tank otherwise.
Personally I use EBC "Green Stuff" pads and am pretty happy with them.
i went with EBC Grenstuff pads and stock/oem pagent brand discs, brake fade was an issue before but now is non existant, also pad dust is less of an issue and it doesnt seem to stick to the wheels as badly as the stock Bmw pads that were fitted before. All in i would definately fit them again theyve made a marked improvement on stopping distance, they were £60 for a front pair and i went with oem on the rears.
Current Upgrades EBC Yellow Stuff Ceramic Brake Pads
Big fan of engine breaking... In my 03 GLI I ended up selling her at 160,000...replaced rear brake pads once, and never the fronts... Clutch was still tight and never any problems.
stock mk4 brakes will clear
Alright, I appreciate everyone's feedback. I checked out RockAuto, and they have good deals... BUT, the shipping kind of kills it. (I put together pads/rotors, and the shipping was nearly $100 with each part coming from a different warehouse.). Somebody told me to get EBC Redstuff pads, which I hear is good. I checked Amazon but couldn't find any that fit my car (BUT I hear their 'Does this fit my car' tool doesn't work well.). Another site said that EBC DP32075C fit's the Jetta S.... But it also says 'With bosch calibers'. Is their an easy way to tell if mine came with Bosch Calibers (Or were they even an option on Jettas?)? Sorry for all the questions... And thanks again for all the help. I never realized how hard it would be to find decent brakes for a newer car.
I thought the biggest let down of the stock mk7 GTI brakes where the ****ty stock pads cooking very easily, but with a good set of pads and fluid where pretty descent.
We tow with the van, and load it up with parts to go to shows, and the brakes are not inspring confidence!
