I've ordered the pads for +08 US Spec R32. It's the 2nd generation of Golf R32.
The one with 345mm rotors on front & 310mm rotors on rear

The codes that you need are:

CT915 (F)
CT1108 (R)

We have the same brake setups like this '08 R32.

Jumpman, tell Mike to pre-bed the pads. So you don't have to do the bedding. It's an 20$ extra.
An advice: before putting carbotech pads please resurface the rotors. Because the ct pads need to touch "virgin" surface for best performance

XP8's on my MKV R32 were awesome on the track.. I don't think I'd ever run them on the street though. Reason being they're very loud. I'll admit it's tough to switch back to street pads after getting used to the bite of the XP8's :thumbsup:

Thanks Teff, will ask Mike to do so. On his recommendation, I'm opting for the 1521 cause I cant stand the noise. My other car ran alot of different pads and I ended up using IDI but also ordered a set of Carbotechs to play with.

Mike concluded that given the R is spirited street driving, the 1521 would be more than adequate, even with my late brake habit
