Hey MartiniB

 

How does the discs and pads keep up for you? I am thinking to change them to the exact ones...

You had them on since last October:) any update?

I upgraded mine to Brembo OE discs and pads. The factory discs are awful, plus I guess the rears get used more than you think by other systems such as Lane guidance / esp / parking brake etc

Can't say there is day and night diff,
but Zimmermanns looks better than stock, compare -

A question for those who have DIY changed rear discs please - do you have to remove the caliper bracket and, if so, what tool do you need for its bolts?

 

ETA: no, you don't for solid discs https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/467878-rear-discs-and-pads-issue/?do=findComment&comment=5309852 Thank you @prdisaac

Found the answer

You may find your question in the workshop manuals, that you can download from cardiagn.com. There's a whole workshop manual for brakes.

Note, in this wokshop manual dedicated to brakes (unless this is in the maintenance chapter, I have a slight doubt), you will also find the spec for discs and pads minimum thickness. Very useful for a quick check!

@Bap33 Thanks for the advice. I've got one disk that's heavily rusted just on the outside and has worn the corresponding pad right down so will have to replace the lot unfortunately.

@D402 Good tips have to be shared  !
