Hello, I used to run a G40 which has the same front brake setup as an 8v GTI - 239mm vented discs. I really liked running the Ferodo Ds2500 pads. However, I can't find them for sale... And What other pads do you guys run on a 239mm vented set up...links appreciated. (Yes I know a 16v 256mm setup would improve the stopping power - I could run this as I have 14" wheels)
Try hawk pads, alternately going for the larger 256mm discs and pads with some decent textar/ate or trw pads should do you allright!
