My brakes are due for a change or replace on my Golf R, just wondering if its better to upgrade? (if so what to) or just to replace with standard R brakes.


Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers Matt

Upgrade pads and fluid should be enough for road use.

Depends on what you are doing.
Pads and fluid upgrades should be enough for everything up to occasional track use.
If you are going to running it on the track regularly you may want to go bigger to reduce the workload on them.

But if all you are doing is road driving. Any high heat pads are a PITA. Even though modern ones no longer require warming up to work. They still make a lot of dust and get noisy. 
I found that putting on a decent set of ceramic pads did what I needed. Low dust, no noise. Just don't try this on a track. They will probably fade faster than Scotland's hopes of getting into the Ruby quarter finals.

Thanks man. Yeah the ones that are one there now make a crap ton of dust and I'm forever cleaning my mags. It's stage 2 tuned and atm don't have time to get on a track.


Thanks for the advice.

give the guys at race brakes a call.

ceramic pads and power one discs are a nice upgrade.

ECS do a two-piece rotor that's much lighter than OEM, which is another option to look into.
