RP700 Front Brake Pad Set

The RacingLine RP700 front brake pad set offers a direct-replacement performance upgrade for verified MQB vehicles featuring 312 mm x 25 mm factory front discs. This specific pad shape (VWR670004) is not compatible with 340 mm Performance brake packages or later 357 mm MQB Evo Performance brakes. The RP700 compound utilizes a medium-hardness aramid-fibre material, developed through extensive testing to provide a balance of useful cold response and enhanced resistance to high-temperature fade. This results in progressive and predictable pedal feel, making the pads suitable for a range of driving conditions from daily commuting to spirited driving and occasional track use, all while retaining original factory calipers and rotors. Important fitment considerations are crucial for these brake pads. The RP700 set is designed for 312 mm x 25 mm factory front discs only. It is essential to physically confirm the rotor size, factory caliper, pad shape, and vehicle PR code before ordering, as model and year alone may not be sufficient due to variations in factory brake packages. The product does not include a new front pad-wear sensor; the existing sensor must be transferred if serviceable, or a correct replacement must be sourced separately. Installation of brake components is critical for safety. Professional installation is required, including inspection of rotor condition and runout, adherence to correct fastener procedures, use of appropriate brake fluid, and completion of RacingLine’s recommended bedding-in process. Any worn or damaged discs and hardware must be replaced before installation and use. The product is ECE R90 approved.
