Hi Guys,

How are you all?
My ride is the B8 Passat Alltrack Diesel MY18 model.

This is just an alternative to the VW or other brands. You can still get the brands you like.
My mechanic charge me under $200 bucks for installation and i supply all the parts.

The invoice got the LSI spare parts contact number so you can ring them up and quote your VIN number
so that they can get you the right brake pads and rotors for your car.
If you were to be happy with the price and parts then buy it.

I have done over 600km on the new pads and they are no difference to the VW brand.

Below is my front pads and disc rotors change with invoice and pics.

I used the same brand HORSEPOWER rotors and pads on my shopping trolley Astra, works really well!

Ah that makes a bit more sense. Understandable with such high kms on a relatively new car.

I bought the HorsePower rotors & pads for the poo-box Accord Euro to get it through rego. They seem to work well. $132 for 2 rotors and a set of pads - bargain.

Certainly can't argue for the price. Would be good to get some long-term feedback and also how much dust they make!

It's the car my kids drive. It had 10 years of dad parking by braille and its been in 2-3 hailstorms in 4 years with us and it is parked on the street and it's black. The kids rarely wash it (I don't blame them) so who knows how much dust there is.

I just needed to get some straight rotors on it to stop the pedal pulse and didn't want to take a chance with the old pads that still had 10mm of friction material. If the HorsePower wear out in a hurry the old pads will go back on.

HORSEPOWER pads have virtually no dust
