What sort of pads are people running on their MK2? I've got an 8V GTi and will be keeping the standard 8V brakes for the next year or so, and I've been looking into getting some Ceramic pads, as they are low dust and still very high performance. I was going to go with EBC Redstuff but unfortunately they don't make them for the 4011 Caliper. So does anyone have any experience with other pads. Secondly, HEL or Goodridge? Any feedback or just go with whichever is cheeper?
Black Diamond discs and pads on my 8V and it has steel braided hoses - seem pretty good but I am toying with putting the 16V (256mm discs, calipers and accompanying hubs on it at some stage) On my old 16V, I ran Pagid and ATE gear and I found them to be AOK and I drove and braked the nuts off that car
In the future I will be sourcing some 16v hubs and most likely Girling-60 or Porsche/Brembo Calipers to fit to these. However, currently all my local scrappers are shut [COVID ] and I'd like to avoid messing with master cylinder until I take the engine out later in the year. I'll have a look at Black Diamond, I've seen them on VWHeritage.
