Brake pads spoken for and no longer available.

I switched to Akebono ceramic compound after about six months of trying the Hawk HPS street pads. Performance is on par with OEM but was looking for something that has less brake dust. Lots of life left on these pads for someone looking for an aftermarket OEM replacement. Taken off a Mk6 Golf...

I initially installed the 034 stud kit. They're a local company near me and the kit was in a comfortable price range. Functional but nothing fancy to look at. When the Racingline stud kit got discounted a few points (5%) I decided to go for it even though it is pricey. It was nearly a...

Sorry for the non-response. Odd that I never received any notices there were replies to my post. The price for the Mk6 Golf R calipers are $400. I'll cover the first $50 of shipping costs (reimbursable after payment received) if full price is paid. Shipping from Northern California.

Up for sale are a pair of Golf R brake calipers and iSweep 1500 ceramic pads. Calipers only have 40k miles. iSweep brake pads logged 7,500 miles and barely dust up the wheels between bi-weekly washes. If full price is paid, I'll discount the shipping. PM me for details.
