Hi all,

Any recommendations for discs and pads combo for a 2019 vRS? 340mm fronts and 310mm rears.

I've been having a look on autodoc etc and there's so many options!

TRW seems to be a very commonly recommended brand here, they're more than likely the OEM supplier for your brake system.

I've used Brembo and Feroddo both seem to be good had no issues with them.

One small but maybe significant point to make wrt the calliper manufacturer, yes TRW and ATE and Mando manufacture the brake callipers, but a "friction specialist" on another forum tends to say that calliper manufacturers typically don't manufacture friction materials, so don't follow these names for "best pads".

For example the original and replacement OEM front brake pads for my wife's 2015 Polo 1.2TSI 110PS, are obviously VW Group/TRW/Jurid - so are Jurid parts, but in this case, I'd doubt if Jurid are the manufacturers of the actual friction material though. I didn't remember to check that fact on the new pads.

Just to be clear, there is a difference between OE and OEM.

TRW should be a safe bet - I'd avoid Brembo as they will likely be the Chinese license-made versions, which suck.

Anything OE/OEM/Pagid/Ferodo/EBC is worth a look.

I used coated-Zimmermann disks and TRW pads, front and rear on my 2016 Superb when I replaced them last month.

I don't know what disks the previous owner had fitted? I started getting brake shudder from a warped disk from them.

Time will tell if the Zimmermann disks hold up better.

Living in the Penines seems to be hard on brake disks due to the hills and the rain and puddles seeming to be a recipe for brake disk warpage.
