The Original brake from VW With a price of over 400 euros, it was by far the most expensive model in the test and took second place.

The from drita Place occupied the perforated Sport brake "Xtra-Line" from Brembo. It had the best braking values, but also that greatest wear. In place come landed the perforated sports brake "CoatZ“By Zimmermann and on place five maneuvered the brake from Bosch. The clear loser of the test is the cheap brake of Ridex. In terms of braking performance, it was only able to achieve a "sufficient" rating. The overall rating with a grade of 3,5 was also not intoxicating.
