The Golf R MK8, as Volkswagen’s performance flagship, is powered by the Volkswagen Group’s renowned EA888 2.0L turbocharged engine and features a 4MOTION all-wheel drive system—delivering strong power and sharp handling across mountain roads, track sessions, and daily driving.
To further enhance braking stability and reduce heat fade, this upgrade features the n&b Yellow M Type brake pads, allowing this AWD hot hatch to maintain consistent and linear brake response even under hard braking.

The Yellow M Type is part of n&b’s high-performance lineup. It features a carbon-metallic material, differing from newer non-asbestos (NAO) compounds, and is specifically engineered for drivers who demand sharp braking response and enhanced control stability.

Its braking characteristics improve progressively with temperature—offering solid initial bite even when cold, and exceptional stability under high heat. This makes it ideal for high-speed driving and repeated heavy braking in mountain driving.

In addition to outstanding thermal resistance, the Yellow M Type also delivers moderate dust output and low-to-moderate noise, striking a balance between enhanced braking performance and everyday comfort. It is a well-rounded choice for street upgrades and light racing use.

※ Dust tolerance varies by user. The pad’s dust output is considered moderate—lower than our full track compounds and also below the levels typically seen in most European OE brake pads.

※ Occasional noise caused by high friction levels is considered normal.
