Brake Pads Question
« on: February 25, 2015, 12:23:05 am »
Hi,

Discovered today that my 2008 GTI DSG needs Brake Pads all round and two Discs for the front so going to get New Discs and Pads all round...

I went onto http://www.demon-tweeks.co.uk/performance/brake-pads/car/volkswagen/golf-mk5-gti/2008/2-0-turbo

I'm hoping to get Brembo OE Replacements
I'm slightly confused as to what caliper is on my GTI .. It's giving me an option to buy a Lucas, TRW or a ATL Caliper !

Out of interest what Discs and Pads are best value for money ?

What I'm confused over is what exact ones to get ... One to suit a Lucas Caliper, TRW Caliper or a ATL Caliper ?

Own the GTI a year and it needs the brakes done but I'm very inexperienced over the whole what brakes to suit the calipers mentioned above ? Just dont want to order some online if they have to be sent back again !

From what I can gather it all about the disc size. Check out my thread further down the page about breaks.
