Re: Brake pads

["stuart" <vr6stu@duesouth.net>]

i would go with mintex redbox pads. I have them and like them mainly because
of less brake dust.  You will need a c-clamp and some channel-locks to
compress the piston back into the caliper.  VW mechancics have a special
tool that compresses it while turning it at the same time but you dont have
to have it.
