The brakes are a bit touchy at first. However as time goes on and they bed in they seem to be better. They are very well suited to back roads/canyon carving.
well except brake pads that need replacing.
I've driven both, and I do agree that the PP brakes do bite harder and give a more confident feel on the street. They (PP) feel bigger and more powerful.
I almost doubled the HP on my gti, and the stock brakes worked fine. Just upgrade to vented regular stock brake set up.
Plus, in real world driving, they stop on a dime. They scrub off speed really well - I've had a couple of saves thanks to these.
I've done the swap on my Tiguan for the front. There is no performance benefit, they are identical brakes with the exception of the R emblem plate and the pads are dustier on the R (same size but different brand).
Not the OP but I want to change the fronts to anything lower in dust, these things are a mess.
only issue I have is the brakes are undersized for this car 10,000km replace under warranty then again at 20,000km.
I do not like the brake feel on this car. Extremely touchy. Not at all like my 2014 GTI. Good to know some different pads might address this. Might look into that.
Check for brake pad deposits, VW uses absolute garbage for pads these days. My 2019 Alltrack has pad deposits at 9k miles (owned it barely 9 months, bought new) and they are only good willing 75% and I am going to drag them through the mud about it every chance I get.
