Let's have a look at Clubsport S part numbers:
front brake pads:
5Q0 698 151 G - 226 €/set
front brake rotors (two-piece w/alu hat):
5Q0 615 301 C - 211 € each
rear brake pads:
5G0 698 451 - 226 €/set
While the regular GTI Clubsport shares the very most parts with the
GTI Performance, the low-sample Clubsport S comes with the above
listed dedicated hardware for an improved performance on track. Keep
in mind, these are GTI Clubsport S parts, not just GTI Clubsport parts.
VW claimed they ran the Nurburgring record lap with a stock Clubsport
S model. If that's true, these are the record-braking pads and rotors.
From theory these brake pads should provide increased performance
while still daily driveable. They're certainly no hardcore track-only
parts like Pagid RS29 or Endless NA35 etc., which would annoy you
with squeal.
Unfortunately, the rear pads don't fit NA market GTI Performance, as
ROW/Euro Golfs use to come with an eletromechanical parking brake
thus different rear calipers and pad shape.
They do fit all Golf R though, as well as ROW/Euro GTI Performance
and GTI Clubsport. Anyways, these parts are likely hard to obtain in
the US and Canada.
Contrarily, the front brakes are the same on both NA and ROW/Euro
versions on all GTI Performance, GTI Clubsport and R (despite color).
The latter means, that the front brake pads will fit on any of these
performance Golfs equipped with the bigger 340 mm brakes. If those
rotors will fit as well? I depends on the wheels bearings I guess. The
Clubsport S uses Audi TT bearings (8S part number) and I cannot
guarantee these wheel bearings are the same physical dimensions as
the GTI/R ones. Different bearing width may make need for different
rotor hat height/offset. So someone would need to try the rotors first
or if required as well use TT bearings.
Hope you get what I'm talking about.
