Golf R32/R/S3 Rear Brake Upgrades?
teo_parvu:
Now we have the same setup. :)
This improves stability under hard braking!

@teo_parvu Thank you for your help! :drinking:
What pads do you recommend? Ferodo DS2500?
teo_parvu:
Yes, DS2500 is what I'm using.
It is a good idea to have rear pads with a lower friction coefficient than the fronts. So you have a bit of oversteer under braking. ;)
@Shoduchi - Forgot to mention that it is the same pad as the one you have now. Gti and R32 rear brakes are using the same pads.

Hmm, I like the idea of a full Cayenne brake set up... As much as I'd love VW Racing front brakes, the cost of those compared to upgrading all the brakes all round against VWR ones, just means the Cayenne upgrade makes sense!

I didn't know that... Searched EBC official site and it didn't have any pads for the R32 rear brakes but they list all for the GTI. :rolleye:
So I ended up ordering the DS2500 from here: http://www.nh-tuning.de/Brake-technologys/Ferodo-Bremsbelaege/Ferodo-DS-2500/Hinterachse/VW/Ferodo-DS-2500-Bremsbelaege-Hinterachse-VW::132335.html.
Oscaro.es didn't have Zimmermann standard Sport Coat Z discs, just perforated, so I changed my order for the normal ATE discs: http://www.oscaro.es/juego-de-2-discos-de-freno-ate-24-0122-0219-1-1767650-82-p.
I got EBC Redstuff for the Brembo 18Z front calipers. Now I'm not sure if they'll go well with the DS2500 in the rear. :confused:
