The kit pairs Brembo high-carbon cast iron rotors with Brembo Prime ceramic brake pads, delivering the same material specification Brembo supplies to automakers for performance trim fitments. High-carbon iron provides a higher damping coefficient than standard gray iron, reducing brake noise and vibration while transferring heat away from the braking surface more efficiently. BREKT00981 is a complete bolt-on replacement requiring no modification.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHigh-carbon cast iron rotors for superior noise and vibration damping versus standard OE gray iron\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eImproved heat dissipation reduces fade during spirited driving\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrembo Prime ceramic pads minimize brake dust and noise\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDirect bolt-on fitment, no modification required\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOEM-grade quality with factory-matching material specification\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eComplete front axle kit with rotors, pads, and hardware\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePart Number\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBREKT00981\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrand\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrembo OE\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAxle Position\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRotor Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHigh-carbon cast iron\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003ePad Type\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eBrembo Prime Ceramic\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eHardware Included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFitment\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2010-2013 VW Golf, 2012-2013 Golf R, 2010-2014 GTI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFitment\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n\u003cthead\u003e\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eYear\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMake\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eModel\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eNotes\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\u003c\/thead\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGolf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGolf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGolf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGolf\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGolf R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGolf R\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2010\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGTI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2011\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGTI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2012\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGTI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2013\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGTI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e2014\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eVolkswagen\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGTI\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFront axle\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat's Included\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e2x Brembo high-carbon front brake rotors\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e1x Set of Brembo Prime ceramic brake pads (front axle)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHardware kit\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eFrequently Asked Questions\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWhat makes high-carbon iron rotors better than standard gray iron?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHigh-carbon iron has a higher damping coefficient, which absorbs vibration and reduces brake judder. It also conducts heat more efficiently, helping rotors cool faster after hard braking and reducing fade on spirited driving routes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDoes this kit fit both the Golf and the GTI on the same platform?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. The BREKT00981 covers the 2010-2013 Golf, 2012-2013 Golf R, and 2010-2014 GTI on the MK6 platform, all of which share the same front brake specifications for this application.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the rotors slotted or drilled?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eNo. These are smooth-face OE-style rotors, which provide consistent braking performance and long wear life for daily driving and spirited street use without the stress concentration points of cross-drilling.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDo I need to bed in the new rotors and pads?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes. A proper bedding procedure is recommended for this kit to transfer an even layer of pad material to the rotor surface. Perform 8 to 10 moderate stops from 40 mph, allowing the brakes to cool between cycles, before any hard braking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAre the ceramic pads included in this kit low-dust?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eYes.
