The Itty Bitty NOVA VW Committee

[Senor_Taylor]

More details later, but the GTI continues to be an absolute monster on the track. I started having brake issues in my last two sessions, but letting my brakes cool off help. I was wondering how they were getting so hot, and it seems it's because they were SUPER THIN. As I was leaving the track, I heard the brakes and new either my pad had fallen apart, or I was rubbing metal on metal. Got home and pulled off the pads....



Anyway, my year GTI (2018 SE) has unique brakes as far as GTIs go. This is because the 2018 Golf R and higher trims of GTI share the same brakes. I'm having a very hard time finding anywhere that says that replacement pads for this car even exist. I don't know anything about Golf Rs. Does anyone know if the Golf R has used the same brakes 15-18?
