Welcome to the new look VWWatercooled

After much work and little sleep there is a new version of the forums running on more powerful and recent hardware as well as an upgraded software platform.

Things are mostly the same, but some things are a little different. We will be learning together, so please post questions (and answers if you've worked things out) in the help thread.

The new forum software is an upgraded version of what came before, it's mostly the same but also a little different. Hopefully easier to use and more stable than before. We are learning together here, so please be patient. If you have questions, please post them here. If you have worked something out and can provide an answer,

    What discs do you use with ceramic pads?

      Hey mate, I was looking for the ATE slotted rotors for MY15 Octavia RS (front rotors - 340mm) and was told they don't make that particular size.

        I upgraded to larger brakes and took the opportunity to fit ate ceramic pads i used german zimmerman rotors but ate are just as good

        Car stops just as good as stock pedal feel is very nice and progressive just be aware they have a 500km bed in you can see after they are bedded in that they leave a deposit on the rotor so its ceramic vs ceramic in braking very kind on the rotors

        i plan to have my car for a long time and will only need to replace front pads/rotors once in 300,000 klm(will get over 200,000 on 1st set) I think will probably need to do rears twice in that time

          Their range of slotted discs is fairly limited, to the point where they're not stocked by the Australian distributor.

            Yes, the pads are easier to source compared to the rotors. I'll be installing Zimmerman cross drilled rotors and ATE ceramic pads this week. Will see how that combination goes!

              No need to worry, the friction material from pads plates the discs, so as long as they don’t distort you’ll be fine..

                One thing I will add about the Zimmerman cross-drilled discs is that they tend to be a bit noisey.
