Using brake pads that are no longer in peak condition could compromise your new brake discs. Don't forget to change the pads too when you change the discs!

Brembo Original

Timeless conventional disks are the favorite choice of the motoring public. The undrilled, unslotted rotors of these disks offer a comfortable drive and increased brake pad life.
Most importantly, Brembo discs offer exactly the same quality and performance as the discs that your VW Polo (9n_) had when it left the factory.
An undrilled, unslotted rotor does not necessarily mean a simple disc. Depending on the specific car model, the Brembo brake discs of this range may also feature a number of stand-out characteristics such as UV paint treatment, pillar vented technology or high carbon cast iron.
PVT Pillar Vented Technology: these discs feature a pillar ventilation system, which improves resistance to thermal cracking by 40% compared with vane vented discs.
High Carbon: discs manufactured from cast iron with an increased carbon content, which prevents undesirable vibration and noise when on the road.
UV paint treatment: as well as giving the disc an attractive metallic finish, the ultra-violet (UV) cured paint process is also extremely energy efficient. By choosing UV technology, Brembo has reduced the energy usage and CO2 emissions of its disc painting process by 98%!
