i have the complete g60 front brake swap with stainless lines and 22mm master cylinder. i must say it is one of the best mods i have done to improve the truck. huge difference from the slotted rotors and hawk blue pads on my 9.4s and i am just running the oe pads and rotors on the g60 brake setup.
I had a similar problem years ago with a set of Mintex pads. This might not be the recommended way to fix it, but I just rubbed the brake pads on the concrete floor to wear them down a little so they fit...never had a problem with them after that.
X2 hps had them on my mkv and loved them. Even did a track day with them
I have Hawk Performance Ceramic pads and Eurospec slotted roters on my GLI daily driver and they've always seemed to bite right away.
As for brake pads i am currently running Mintex Extreme all around , but will try to play later on also with the options from Pagid (i want to see if i can keep the car in the temp range needed for Pagid blue).
HP+ is a good pad for street/autox, and some light track use. They will dust a good amount, and have a squeel now and then. I found it has a minor tendancy to fade on faster road courses
New rotors and brake pads from http://autohausaz.com . ATE rotors and Mintex pads. Notice grease on rotors...I washed it off with dishsoap and water, but there is spray you can buy that makes it real easy as well.
I've had Hawk Performance Ceramic pads on GLI daily driver for 2+ years. They stop very well and keep the RC's nice and clean...almost no dust.
For JUST street driving (no canyon runs or autox), they are fine. But, they are NOT performance pads, so you don't want to be running on them if you're rcing the car or really hammering the brakes when you drive.
These are some TERRIBLE brakes, I almost got into a couple of major accidents because these brakes completely overheat and stop working. I will never buy Mintex again.
