  • Brake pads and Discs for 2010 CC TDI

    Hi guys,

    my mechanic told me that I will need to replace my brake pads and discs soon. I have looked around, and there are so many different brands. What would you guys recommend?

    I know Brembo makes good brakes, are these discs any good for my CC?

      Thanks Umai Naa... In regards to pads, who makes good ones, low noise and dust? Is Brembo one of the good ones as well?

            Warricks recomendation is very good.

            You'll get the DBA rotors from GSL Rallysport / Brakes Direct (forum sponsor). The ATE pads are a bit harder to come by. The importer is HSY is in / near Alexandria but they appear to only sell to the trade, so you'll need to ring HSY then find out who you can buy from. You may as well get the ATE rotors at the same time. ATE Ceramic Brake Pads.

            Personally, I'd just ring Brakes Direct & find out what pads they recomend. QF A1RM will meet your requirements but IIRC don't have a wer indicator. They carry half a dozen other brands so they'll have something.

                    That's not a hugely terrible price for RRP when you look at the cost of Project Mu or DS2500 or some of the other fancy, well marketed pads.

                      It's not a bad price at all.

                      Interested to hear how they go with an OEM soft disc, as opposed to the much harder DBA and RDA discs.

                            Indeed. It comes as a shock when youare used to a discount then have to pay full freight.

                            The discounts probably aren't as big now but I used to get 80% off RRP when I was doing brakes. We were part of a chain & had a massive spend with Quinton Hazel at the time therefore got a huge discount. I used to have a lot of contacts in the brake trade but they've all gone now (several due to asbestos related lung diseases - work safe guys)

                              Hi guys,

                              What do I gain and lose from slotted and drilled discs vs normal discs?

                              I understand they improve braking performance but do discs and pads wear faster?
