I took the car to the dealer and they put new rear pads and rotors on.
The R32 brakes are A LOT better. You'll like them!!
Passat has stronger brakes, by far. Actually, when I entered Taurus I couldn't believe how weak the brakes are. When I went back to Passat I almost threw myself out of my seat as I stepped so hard on the brake.
I ran DEs on one of my other Corrads and loved them.
my bro. had a turbo VR cabrio running DE brakes and 18" wheels. noticed a little a fade only under EXTREME stop and go conditions. but as far as daily driving goes, they worked very very well.
I got the rear brakes done on my passat yesterday. They did a good job, and I'm pleased with my brakes.
I could give you the part number but you need the caliper tool to wind the piston back . Part number is 1H0698451F . I know its Golf 3 part number but I prefer these to the Golf 4 units . Also just re-use the bolts the strength is overdone for its purpose . I also prefer golf 3 pollen filters as oppossed to Golf 4 ones
At low speeds, ASW uses the ABS sensors and brakes the spinning wheels, which will affect the life of the front brake pads (at least, that's how I understand it).
Yes the brakes fit NO wheels really fit over them. - Huge spacers will fix this - not good for your ride. - Brake balance will be grossly forward biased. Lesson: Buy a brake kit designed for your vehicle or just get better pads.
About 10,000 miles ago, I would have been more positive. But now I'm at 40,000 miles now, and I'm ready to dump my '99 GLX at the next problem. - 25,000: rear brakes (my $) - 30,000: front brakes (my $)
