Brake pads R1 Concepts or OEM Volkswagen
Got the OEM brakes installed not too long ago and they’re definitely worth the install. Two year warranty with them at VW.
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.
Make certain your kiddo has GOOD brakes and tires.
I've had really good luck after swapping to R1 Concepts pads and rotors on my Taos. no brake dust and predictable stopping.
Well, the brake pads aren't stock - I've replaced them a few times.
Not an actual issue, but an annoyance: The brakes make weird sounds (like bad-transmission-in-a-transformers-movie- like warbling) and sometimes even feel grainy, but the vw mechanics can never identify anything wrong with them. It’s worse in the cold, but even happens in moderate weather.
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.
OEM VW brakes are crap.
just waring yall about this company.. they dont care about product quality and safety.. had an issue with my setup only 1 month outta warrty and they said pound sand .. they dont care .. brake pads are made in china and rotors now too.. the pads will fail you big time even if you have a daily driver... never again will i buy a product from them
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!
