I’m sure you’ll get your parts!Got the pads but not the disks yet. Maybe I shudda kept my mouth shut until mine had been delivered.
Good find with these pads and disks. But, according to ECP there seems to be 2 types of front 308mm brake system, Teves or CBI - how do I know which pads to get please?
Both show as 2E3 but the pad sizes are different and also a big difference in price for the same make. Thanks.

Unfortunately they were going to be for fitment in the future as I don’t need them now so would be unable to return. In the end the website was playing up in the hours before the 10% offer ended so didn’t get to buy them. I’ll keep an eye out for a future offer. It appears it’s the Teves version I need for a 2018 150bhp T28 Trendline.
My front discs and pads need replacing, they came supplied with the van (brought 2nd hand) so not sure what brand they are. I do have the 340mm big brakes though.
The modulation currently isn't great, long ramp then a hard bite - ideally would like something a bit more progressive. What are my options for this? Are Brembo worth the cash or am I better sticking with OEM?

The brembo 4 pots are a great upgrade, with either the factory 340mm disc or the 362mm AP Racing discs. Feels very OEM in standard operation(not snatchy at all) and when you need to use the brakes does exactly what you need with great feedback.
Great thank you. Think it will be Brembo I go for, unfortunately Im up in Leeds so a bit too far for a trip to you guys!
No worries at all. Glad to have been a help. We can mail order you the kit.
There is a list here.
And standard hoses are suitable, unless they any signs of cracking etc.

Couple of questions:
I have a T28 T6.1 and want to get an idea of brake replacement costs before I visit the VW dealer. An oil service is supposed to be £216, but a dealer just quoted me £275 so I can see they’re charging whatever they like.
1. How much have people paid VW to fit new brake pads?
2. How much have people paid VW to fit new brake discs?
3. What depth are on VW pads? I think it’s 10mm maximum, 2mm minimum.
4. What depth are on VW discs? Maximum and minimum.
Thanks.

I recently changed my backs myself, so not specifically the question you asked but gives you an idea of parts costs. I didn't buy anything flash just Eicher discs and pads and I got em from Halfords as they are local to me and with the trade discount worked out cheapest. Normally about £80, trade was £65..fitted them in about an hour.
I recently paid £900 for my partners golf discs and pads all round. I was ready to cry...but it failed its mot and we were mid house moved from the north east to south west and just didn't have time to diy myself. To be fair to halfords the did them as plan and you get replacement pads in future, I paid for convience ,hassle free and short notice which is what I got
