Anyone ever try anything like this? How are they?

They wear out faster.

Here's test results for a few different performance pads for VWs. That's just the first thing I found on google related to the subject.

Bastage. The miles are racking up pretty fast on my car and I am expecting to need new brake pads in a couple months. I came across these and the cost is not much higher than an OE set.

How many miles do you have and how long have you had it again?

I guess that would have been too easy. I was hoping for some user reviews also, but I'll search google.

Glancing through those results, that's pretty impressive that you can get a 10%+ decrease in braking distance from just brake pads.

Almost 15k miles and about 6 months now I think. I hate it, the car is almost new but I drive too much. :\

Wow that's an assload of miles for a 6 month old car. Might check into slotted/cross drilled rotors as well?

Oh yea - are you still getting that rubbing of your TL bar on the rubber exhaust thing? (Someone bumped your thread in Suspensions)

Yeah, my commute/job situation I don't like but it's still hard times so I do what I have to for now. I think slotted/drilled rotors are mainly for fade resistance, and that's not something I need.

Man, I dunno if you know, but I got banned for two weeks there for telling off the mod, hahaha. The TL bar I don't have any problems. I guess tomorrow I'll crawl under the car and look at the situation with the sway bar and rubber exhaust mount. I don't expect any problems, they are just touching.
