What are some of the best (cheapest) VW performance retailers on the internet? Also, are there any vendors on Vortex or other forums that generally have the best pricing? What’s the best MK5 Jetta forum? Right now I’m specifically looking for good pads (Hawk HPS, or HP+), stainless brake lines, and quality “blank” rotors. ---

GAP or ECS, but stay away from the cheaper end of their stuff. OEM or Zimmerman rotors are fine but any other is junk! I found out the hard way. Brand new rotors warped out of the box. ---

Yea. I know the company is legit. Ive got ATE rear’s on my A6. I’m just wondering about the slotted variety. Theyre not much more than just plain OEM ones, so I was thinkin of grabbin these, cuz my car needs front brakes. ---
