R36 Brakes

[snerlo]

It seems as though the dust is less but to be honest i need to wash the car first and then monitor as when the brakes were put in they sprayed tyre stuff all over the tyres and the over spray has got all the dust stuck to it but the car will be getting a wash on the weekend so ill be able to give an answer in a week or so when i can get a better idea.

Thank you VWWatercooled community!!!

I am up for a new set all round and this discussion is exactly what I was after. In particular I was keen to know if there was any degradation in performance on cold starts. It appears that it is minimal so ATE here I come.

[snerlo]

Yeah mate, you can't go wrong. If there was minimal degradation then it only takes a couple of days of driving before you don't even know the difference anyhow. Happy braking.

Eurobahn informs me that shipping to Melbourne maybe prohibitive for the rotors so has anyone tried and able to provide feedback OEM rotors with ATE pads?

Try shipping with e-go couriers.
Quite affordable for heavy car parts.

Thanks Kamold will do.

Hi All,

I got the ATE rotors and ceramic pads put on the car by a VW specialist near work. All good thus far but I have only done about 30k's since. Will report back on my experience after a couple of hundred k's.

I have one question though, the receipt for the work performed by the mechanic indicates they have put on R32 rotors. I rang the mechanic to check and they mentioned they are the exact same rotors, just looking to confirm with the collective that this is accurate???

I looked at the R36 Technical information page in the forums and there appears to be two front rotor sizes.

[Umai Naa!!]

Yes, that's correct.

You need the VIN to order the right ones.

[snerlo]

Mine said that they were R32 brakes as well mate. Nothing to worry about. I did confirm this with eurobahn as well.

Shout out to Adam at eurobahn. Ordered front and rear ATE ceramic pads last Thursday and delivered yesterday.. Friendly service and fast postage. They'll be installed on Friday and I'm going on a decent road trip for a week so can report back on how they go.
