Covering the Tiguan (MK2), Arteon, GTI (MK8), Jetta GLI, and Q3, this Low-Met compound delivers stronger initial bite and higher thermal capacity than standard ceramic pads - well suited to the daily and spirited driving demands of these MQB performance-oriented models. Factory thermal scorching eliminates extended break-in time from the first stop.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eManufactured using Brembo's OE Direct Moulding process, the P85166 is pressed to exact MQB caliper geometry for a clean, rattle-free fit. The multi-layer ESE red shim controls vibration and heat transfer, and the included stainless-steel hardware ensures a straightforward installation. Verify 340mm rotor fitment via VIN before ordering, and confirm MK2 Tiguan (2018+) - this pad does not fit the earlier Tiguan Limited.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Brembo OE","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53198495514943,"sku":"BREP85166","price":126.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0832\/7308\/9343\/files\/f02982b31f2ce3e90ef632cec50f26ad_31affd51-71e6-40ef-81cc-c7d0eccb65b5.jpg?v=1779934697","url":"https:\/\/wcaperformance.com\/products\/brembo-18-20-volkswagen-tiguan-front-premium-low-met-oe-equivalent-pad","provider":"WCA Performance","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
