    GTI PP Brakes

    I have just had the check brake wear light appear on the dash.

    Any recommendations for replacement rotors and pads, or do most go with OE replacements?

    Anyone with first hand experience with the Brembo Xtra rotors?

    I replaced the Fronts with DBA T3 rotors and Forza FP3 pads with some high temp fluid, I do track the car.

    Give the guys at Brakes Direct a call is probably best (they also sponsor this forum)

    Thanks. Definitely looks like the pads to go for, Santiagos are a prick to clean!

    I went the Forza FP3 pads and DBA HD4000 (non slotted) disks on mine, they hold up nicely but the pads are dusty as hell (light brown dust after a few kms)
