    after market brake pads for tiguan that wont dirty wheels

    Its time for me to change my pads and front rotor, i was wondering if there are any recommendations for pads that wont make the rims dirty like my current OEM ones.

    Also i was quoted around 880 for changing the front pads and rotors and the back pads, i assume thats including labour and flushing the fluid, good deal?

    thanks

    There is a thread just below yours in the Tiguan section about brakes which may be of help.
    Brake Pad Upgrade

    From memory, Remsa and Hawk pads are meant to be worthy/cost effective low dust upgrades.

    Don't assume anything. There's no reason to think they would change brake fluid as part of a pad change.

    Talk to GLS rallysport for parts & find a decent independant for labour.

    Depending on your budget & driving style, probably Remsa pads & Fremax rotors but they have a half-a-dozen brands for each item they can advise you on. I'd wager both will last a bit longer & perform better than Genuine VW parts & cost less.

    I have fitted ATE Ceramic pads to both our Tiguans and I have NO brake dust on the wheels. When I wash the car I use only high pressure cleaner on the wheels, no brush or sponge, 2 years later and the wheels are still silver.
    I have fitted Remsa to our Touareg and there was not much of the difference between original dusty pads and them.
