How to Choose Brakes for VW Mk6 GTI
Match the setup to your use: daily driving, spirited back roads, towing, or track days.
- Pads: choose the friction level and temperature range you need.
- Rotors: blank for OEM feel, slotted/drilled options where appropriate for your goals.
- Lines & fluid: stainless lines and high-temp fluid can improve pedal feel and consistency.
- Hardware: don’t skip shims, clips, and sensors when doing a full refresh.
Signs It’s Time to Service Your Brakes
Squeal, vibration, longer stopping distances, or a soft pedal can all point to pads, rotors, or fluid that need attention. Replacing worn parts early helps protect rotors and keeps braking predictable.
