need new brake pads and rotors

[koreaniverson]

need to replace my rear brake pads and maybe rotors as well only after 22,000 miles on my '06 GTI... this seems extremely premature for such a replacement but am told that this is normal with VWs... :fighting0030: anyhow, what manufacturers do you recommend? any help would be greatly appreciated! :help:

stock (oem) rotors, hawk hps pads

check your rotors... is there any warpage? if its still smooth, then there is really no reason to get new rotors. you shouldn't have to replace your rotors so early. they gon say that vw recommends it, but thats such BS. they may also warn you that you might have vibration is your brake pedal if u dont replace the rotor, but if your rotors are smooth, then its probably not going to happen. just replace your pads and save your money.

check thickness not just how smooth they look

yeah my rear breaks went out at around 25k miles. THat sounds normal for our cars. I dont know why our rears go out so soon. My fronts are starting to squeek now so i will get hawk composite pads and ss lines and high temp fluid. i will do the rears once those go out again



edit: they rid both my pads and rotors in the back btw

I have stock pads and rotors, 42,000 miles.. rotors are in excellent shape, pads are getting reasonably worn.. I expect to get a whole nother cycle out of the rotors.. no warping at all
