I do the minor maintenance myself: oil/filter, air filters, wiper blades.
I save enough $$ on the DIY portion, so I don't mind using my dealer for the other stuff: front & rear dif fluids, CVT fluid, brake fluid, brake pads, etc.
My mk5 rabbit is on its 4th set of Powerstop pads in the rear since I swapped all four corners to their pads and rotors. The fronts will probably be changed this coming summer. They still have plenty of meat on them.
Powerstop z23, get them from Rockauto.
Power stops. I’ve had mine in there for well over 75k. Same pads and rotors the whole time.
I just replaced both pads and rotors at 100k with R1 Concepts rotors and power stop pads. Seems fine.
Did mine a couple months ago. They feel good and stop well. Decent price. No noise.. would do it again. The hardware wasnt great and ended up reusing the oem clips.
Power Stop Z26 pads and rotors. They dust much less than stock, have lower initial bite, which helps with heel/toe downshifts, but similar overall bite to stick pads. I wouldn't try a heavy track day on them, but they're great as a set for aggressive daily driving. I ran the Z23 pads on OEM discs for nine years and approximately 50k miles and they were fantastic. I just upgraded to the Z26 pads and swapped discs about 500 miles ago. Zero complaints.
I put power stop pads on and generic slotted rotors from local parts store.
I replaced the rear pads and rotors with Power Stop pads and rotors. Bleed. Did break in proceedure. No change.
Bro they're trying to fuck you hard. Take that vehicle somewhere else and never go back. No way the rear pads should be at 2mm after only 30k miles
