  • MKV R32 Brake option experiences (i cant decide)

    Hi all,

    After countless thread searches i still haven't come to a conclusion and need to order these asap as my rotors are cactus.

    Im down to two packages.

    EBC rotors (turbo groove type) with EBC red stuff pads OR

    DBA 4000 Series T3 Slotted Brake Rotor with remsa pads.

    Both are comparatively priced with EBC being slightly higher. Has anyone has experience with this setup? even on a Golf r or MKV gti?. I noticed that you can get a EBC OE replacement front disc but comes with yellow stiff pads? Also EBC dont seem to have the brake pad sensor?

    Any help would be great thanks all.

      DBA T3's without the Resma as they are rubbish.

      PM me as I own an R32 myself and can share from experience.

          I had EBC Greenstuff on my MkV GTI and loved them. Unless you're doing track days a fair bit etc, I wouldn't bother with the Red. They're a little too hardcore/annoying for the street. I'd also stick with EBC rotors. As above, forget the Resma.

                  Akebono full ceramics have been outstanding for me.

                    I'd go for the EBC one

                      for what its worth I've just ordered DBA 4000 Series T3 front discs and Forza fp3 pads for my M3 from Brakes Direct...

                      I had a good chat with the guys there before I ordered them and went with their recommendation. this is the 3rd time I've purchased from them now and they haven't been wrong yet so it could be worth a phone call...

                      just my 2 cents; time will tell if they are any good or not...

                      I hope you find a set-up you like, brown trouser moments from dog dirt brakes are not fun...
