I put brakes from a 2008 R32 on my MK6 gti. They were cheaper than the golf r on ebay at the time. They work really well.
You'll find most common needs (brake pads, etc) in stock everywhere, and rarer parts will be easy to find in a day or two.
Mk6 2.5L A/T. They just work. Brakes last forever, no engine or transmission issues, none of the weird mk4 body problems with windows or wipers, just great cars.
Buy pads and the sensor from FCP Euro. Use their lifetime replacement warranty for the next set. Went to the dealer in July for an alignment and they recommended pads for a similar price. I bought pads rotors and sensors for front and back, total was $1000 for BMW parts. You could save with Jurid which is listed as OE and OEM. My pads are at 4mm all around so I'm actually waiting for the sensor to trip before doing the job.
Over the weekend I finally got the brakes to cooperate, so it's just about time to get a few test runs in.
Pads I went with Jurid as they’re oem and wanted strong initial bite. The Jurids nock when I reverse, apply brake, shift to drive and apply again. It’s very annoying. My original BMW OEM pads didn’t do this.
The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.
The OEM brakes are a little meh as I’ve got the same noise issue as a lot of other Atlas owners have experienced.
The only thing wrong with them are they are too soft, organic pads. Switch to a metallic pad.
Secondly, defective Rear Disk Brake Pads that wore out on a majority of 22` Taos which was a covered rear Brake replacement if it was under 2ydears and 24 months. I just missed the cut-off and was$700 poorer.
