I used Textar discs and pads all round last time I did brakes and no complaints here. All good and would recommend.
Pros: All good
Cons: no complaints
At 180k I had a whole brake system overhaul, replaced all rotors and pads with new brake fluid. Textar parts all around.
Pros: brake system overhaul

The textar pads are great for normal and slightly aggressive driving. The initial bite is great compared to ceramic pads, although they do dust a lot. To me the trade off is worth it for great pedal feel.
Pros: great initial bite, great pedal feel
Cons: dust a lot
Vehicle:

I always use Textar - a boggo (albeit OE) brand, and never, ever have a problem.
Pros: reliable, no problems
Textar makes good pads but they get brake dust everywhere. They are currently the stock ones on my 23 m40i.
Pros: good pads
Cons: get brake dust everywhere

Around 12k miles, the anti-rattle decal on the left front Textar pads melted and which made them rattle in the caliper over bumps. FCP Euro exchanged them for Pagid pads and no problem since. Rear Textar pads have been fine.
Pros: rear pads fine
Cons: anti-rattle decal melted, rattling

Well, I just put Textar pads on and am looking to swap them because they\u2019re super dusty and squeal with light pressure, so I too would love some recommendations.
Cons: super dusty, squeal
I recently replaced some on a 981 with Textar and don’t recommend it. So much dust and some noise at low speed braking.
Cons: much dust, noise at low speed
