I fitted pagid disks and pads to my mk 6, same brakes as mk5, they are night and day better than the oem, and not too bad on cost, though i have access to a trade acount at euro car parts. the disks also come grey coated (not braking surface obviously) so no rust either on the bell housing, my oem disks that came with the car looked terrible in this respect. Don't know who makes VW OEM, but pagid make for Porsche so v v good quality supplier. HTH's John
