  • GTI PP Brakes

    I have just had the check brake wear light appear on the dash.

    Any recommendations for replacement rotors and pads, or do most go with OE replacements?

    Anyone with first hand experience with the Brembo Xtra rotors?

    I replaced the Fronts with DBA T3 rotors and Forza FP3 pads with some high temp fluid, I do track the car.

    Give the guys at Brakes Direct a call is probably best (they also sponsor this forum)

      Check this thread i used ate ceramic pads and they are great up in the twisties the hotter it got the better they braked and stayed cooler
      Db3 rotors are good as well

          Thanks. Definitely looks like the pads to go for, Santiagos are a prick to clean!

            Anyone recommend an honest vw mechanic in Adelaide if I can't be bothered changing them out myself?

              I went the Forza FP3 pads and DBA HD4000 (non slotted) disks on mine, they hold up nicely but the pads are dusty as hell (light brown dust after a few kms)
