Golf R Observations and Questions

[Lucas_R]

I'll be staying away from them thanks

Very very average.

Up to you mate.

I dislike them with a vengeance

Squeelers, fade, chattering, uneven surfacing on my first two sets.

Yes, they dust less but that is about it.

YMMV

Well perhaps you were unlucky and got a bad set or something. No squeaking or any noises whatsoever, no fading, no chattering and they brake well from the first application. Mine are absolutely perfect, and i have 2 other friends running the Remsa pads now (MK5 GTI and a Mk6 R) and both friends are very happy with them as well.

If not Remsa, then get Bendix, ProjectMu, etc etc...whatever...something else to reduce the dust.

It might also be beneficial to understand if you are referring to the "correct" Remsa, as there is an American Remsa company, and then there is also a Spanish Remsa. Im talking about the Spanish one.

American one: http://www.remsaofamerica.com/

Spanish one: http://www.remsa.com/

Furthermore, the guys from GSL Rallysport said that they use the Remsa pads in a large range of European cars, even Lamborghini's / Porsches etc. Im sure if they were not a good quality pad, then they would not be used in these high end vehicles.

^ just get Remsa brake pads guys......less than $250 for the complete set. You have probably spent more than that on wheel cleaners already....

Brake dust is reduced significantly - about 70-80% less.

American one: Disc brake pads for Domestic and Import Vehicles - Remsa of America

Spanish one: Remsa

I use them as well and mine do not squeel or fade or chatter but they do reduce the brake dust significantly. When I need new pads I will be getting the same ones.
