Hello folks, I just spent about 3 hours reading posts on brake pads, fluids, etc. ad nauseum... My issue is, some of the posts were outdated. For some background, I've done a lot of driving schools. Historically, I've used Hawk Blues and ATE Superblue brake fluids. Apparently, Superblues are no longer in existence. I'm also done with the Hawk Blues since they are corrosive to the finish of my wheels. HT-10s supposedly replaced (or is a newer compound) than Hawk Blues and DTC-60's supposedly replaced HT-10's.
I plan on using doing the events locally at Palmer Motorsports (in MA) and Thompson Speedway (in CT). From watching youtubes of the track, they don't seem to be too aggressive with brakes when compared to Watkins Glen, which is the track that I've done most schools with.
So I need clarification from the guys that still track their GTI's. Are these still the latest info?
1) Remove brake dust shields
2) DTC-60 front and rears (I'm a believer of using the same front/rear combo as the car was designed to have the same pad compound front/rear)
3) Motul 600/660 brake fluid
4) RS3 brake ducts (I got these part numbers from a Mk5 thread. Would these part numbers fit Mk6? 8P0863149A 8P0863150A). See below:

Thanks in advance!
Edit: Well that bites... Apparently, the DTC-60 is NOT available for our cars for the rears. So what do I use now?
