Looks like a good project. I would be concerned about what you described about the brakes. It could be alot of different things causing that issue.
Depends what you're after. If just street with some spirited driving, smething like pmu hc+ or ns400 works. I do track work and used to run hc800s, but got hc+ thinking they are the same. Only 600c rated instead. But, good cold performance, and extra good performance hot. So, they don't wear out super quickly while daily driving. Got quite a lot of track days and driving out of my original hc800s with t3 rotors. But, they are harder to find. Need to get the shape from pmus website, and then find somebody that stocks them. Rhd japan may do
I really liked Project Mu Club Racers as a "streetable-ish" track pad. They were fairly tolerable on the street as long as they were bedded in. They occasionally squeal when coming to a stop once below 15mph.
Make certain your kiddo has GOOD brakes and tires.
Well, the brake pads aren't stock - I've replaced them a few times.
I have had the Tiguan SEL Turbo for a few weeks now. I was reversing out of a parking spot and the brakes locked up thinking something was behind me. Not a soft brake, I thought I backed up into someone. No car or person there? Did it twice and never again.
Took my 2019 Golf R to the track with stock pads and rotors. The brakes started smelling really bad after 20 minutes of track time, and squealing a bit. Didn’t lose braking power significantly, but this is what they look like afterwards.
OEM VW brakes are crap.
Same on my wife's '22 Atlas. So much so that I think it activates the parking sensors on every occasion when we slowly come to a stop, like in a red light and nothing is around the vehicle to make the parking sensors activate. It's just at 37k miles but I'm considering upgrading the pads and rotors!
I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.
