I just replaced my OEM pads (front and rear) with Stoptech Street Performance and the Stainless Braided lines to go with them and some Motul RFB6k and it rocks. No noise even with two days worth of rain. I'm not noticing a ton of dust either, but all the rain we are getting probably has something to do with that. All in all it's been an awesome upgrade. The brakes are more responsive and have more grip. I love the upgrade so far.

They have rotors for 2010 GTI at all?
You get that 7mm wrench to get things sorted? Glad the brakes are doing well.

Is Motul RFB6000 highly hygroscopic (sp?) ?
In other words, does that brake fluid absorb moisture faster than some brake fluids? That's what I heard about it...more of a track fluid and not something you want to keep in there a year or whatever. Is this true or just some smoke I heard?

Heya NoSpark yeah got it sorted and in liking them more and more.
Bozz, no there is no evidence that just because it has a higher boiling point it isn't good for a daily driver. In fact it works pretty damn well for a daily driver from all the reviews I've read. Since it meets all the DOT 4 standards and is certified it can run in a dd without worry. The one thing with it is though, because it can be run in a track car it can withstand the higher temps required in a brake fluid. But if you do track your car or brake heavy or a lot you MAY need to change it a little more often than you would another type. But that all depends on how you drive.

This.
2010 has 286mm as 2011+ has 272mm rear rotors.

So the link looks like it's for 272mm, no? Looks like they don't have a front/rear package for the 2010...
Also, what is the weight difference compared to stock/other aftermarket?

What site are you looking at?
On ECS tuning they have front and rear brake packages for both sizes. One is under "service kitS" and the other is under "service kit" And they say what rotor is the rear/what pads fit what.
What tool are you looking for?
