    Unhappy MKV GTI - OEM pads and rotors,where to source?

    Hi. Car coming up to 115ks,brakes starting to get noisy. Any ideas where to pick up genuine rotors and pads for front and back at a reasonable price? (Ecs was just shy of 1k) surely it’s not going to cost that much
    Any help would be much appreciated.

    Have you tried VW?

    Front discs are about $150ea
    Front pads are about $200
    Rear pads are about $100
    Rear discs are about $120ea

    I wouldn't bother with an overseas order. The cost of feight alone would be absurd.

    Also try Tooley Imports, HSY and Imparts for OEM equivilents.

    Brakes Direct are really good and helpful, speak to Greg, he'll sort you out. They have aftermarket options along with their OE model..any reason why you want to go genuwine?

    Thanks for the replies guys. Looks like overseas is a no go.
    No reason for genuine, just figured they seem to have done the job for 115ks,they can’t be too bad

    Yeah oem is defiantly very good good initial bite strong stopping on my previous mark 6 tdi fronts lasted 143k

    But in new car have changed to ate ceramics longer lasting but most importantly low dust and easy to clean the dust does not stick like oem pads

    Would the Dba Street series rotors and Remsa pads be sufficient from brakes direct? Any opinions?gti daily driven,rarely any spirited driving,just to and from work.

    I run remsa pads. No noise and not overly dusty. Run standard DBA rotors. No issues and less than half the price of genuine.
