Brembo Xtra or Genuine VW Discs and Pads?
(1/1)
Husy:
Hi everyone, I’m looking at upgrading to Brembo Xtra discs and pads all around on my 2008 Golf GTI. Has anyone here tried them before? Are they worth it, or would you recommend sticking with genuine VW discs and pads instead? Any advice or tips would be greatly appreciated!
MKVASMR:
The least amount of issues you will have with the OEM setup. The Xtra Brembo setup won't to anything when it comes to performance. They only look cool because they are drilled. I have some cheap brembos in the back and haven't had any issues with them. A shop that's close to me uses them for all customer cars and have 0 issues.
Husy:
Thanks for the advice, really appreciate it! The drilled Brembo Xtra discs definitely look better, and they’re about £200 cheaper than what the VW dealer quoted for OEM’s. Not too sure about Pagid or ATE’s though.

I have MTEC front and rear grooved and have worked well for a few years now. I have had the Brembos, Pagid and ATE variants in the past.......all with good results.
I have the Brembo pads currently and they work well with the MTEC's

DBA T2 rotors with DS2500's here. Works like a charm, ~2 years on them now.
