Which Brake Pads are closest to OEM?

[gslrallysport]

what would be the cost for the Remsa for the MkV GTI?

Same pads as the Jetta, so $119 and $89 respectively.

Since we last time we spoke has QFM made a pad for the GTI?

Nup. The rear we could easily get made up by supplying backing plates, but the fronts would be a pain because of the electronic wear indidcator. If you were willing to bypass that we could get them made up in QFM. Pricing would be $119 per axle set in HPX, and $149 per axle set in A1RM.

I put Hawk ceramic on my GTI. Very low dust by comparison. No noticeable difference in stopping...hot or cold.

yeah im leaning towards them.

do they come with the wear sensor?

The Hawks did, but one type of plug only. Some VAG cars use the opp type (male/female). On my R32 I had to swap plug on pads over. Easy with soldering iron and 20mm of shrink tube.

Be aware you need a special tool to wind pistons back into caliper on rear of R32/gti, prob same for other models too.

I ordered a set of Hawk Ceramic front and rear for the Jetta and a set of rears for the TT (Brembo big brake kit going on the front) all for $390 shipped.
