Brakes. oh yeah



I've found that Sciroccos are so light and so underpowered (in particular, the 8v's) that practically any brake rotor/pad combo will work just fine.  Take your pick...!

  Hi everyone,

  I'm looking at two different sets of brakes right now and I'm interested in
  every ones thoughts an opinions.  first off my demands are high
  performance-the best i can get from stock calipers and rotor diameter.
  longevity is a plus but not a requirement.

  the first set from germanautoparts.com: EBC Sport rotors, PAIR. Improved
  high temperature and wet braking, recommended for high performance use. Wide
  scraper slots expel water, gasses and dust, blind drilled dimples help break
  down surface gasses and prevent cracking. Rotors are cadnium plated to
  resist corrosion on areas not swept by brake pads
  -and-
  Brake pad set, EBC Greenstuff. High performance street pads featuring a
  blend of aramid fibers such as Kevlar and Twaron with no steel or carbon
  content. Great stopping power and very little brake dust. EBC pads also
  feature an exclusive brake-in coatin

  the second set from potterman: 10.1" Vented Zimmermann Sport Cross Drilled
  Front Brake Rotor
  -and-
  The ultimate pad for street/mild track use. Reduces fading after prolonged
  abuse. Fits Scirocco 16v, A2 Jetta 2.0 16V, B3 Passat 16v, A3 2.0 8v
  w/10.1"/Corrado G60/VR6, and 95 A3 VR6 w/11.0"

  any thoughts?  is their a better combination out there??
