I have the TRW TPC1633 ceramic pads installed, perfect fit (OEM) and brake as good as stock...actually smoother. Dust is reduced maybe by half.
I think the ones I just fitted on the front are TRW, they were significantly cheaper than the genuine parts I've previously bought, but the performance is at least as good, with less brake dust. There's a big difference between quality and cheap parts when it comes to brakes, cheaper rotors will be much more likely to warp.
I decided to upgrade to the M3 upper and lower control arms. After many months of research, I went with the TRW M3 control arm upgrade kit. This kit comes with the upper arms, lower arms, headlight leveling sensor, and all the required hardware. The arms also have the upgraded M3 monoball bushings pre installed. With the new M3 control arms I was able to jump from the maxed out -.6 degrees of front camber, all the way to -1.8 degrees. After getting the car dialed in, I took it out for a drive on some windy roads. Every single complaint I have had about the car is now gone. The turn in feels fantastic and far faster than it was before. Less steering effort is needed to place the front wheels exactly where you want them in a corner. Upgrading the control arms on a non-M E9X to the M3 versions is one of the best upgrades you can do for the money.
TRW Ceramic pads, look identical to OEM, since TRW makes the OEM pads. Feel same as stock, way down on dust.
Over the last 6 months I have replaced all front suspension control arms with new TRW arms.
Finally got around to getting my brakes installed. I've barely put 10 miles on the setup, and the improvement is quite noticeable. Initial bite is improved, and much less effort is required for the same braking force.
In an effort of "lets start over with the basics" we changed the front pads with new TRW OEM ones and the thing was back to normal awesome braking. This Van should stop with alacrity and ABS should kick in when you really step on the brakes.
Better quality tierod ends are machined on the end of the ballstuds so a allen wrench can be used to hold the ballstud if necessary when tightening the locknut.
I swapped in a rebuilt TRW rack into a buddy's 93 slc.. he's been complaining of a \"loose\" feeling at highway speeds.
Leaking after OEM rebuild kit. On a g60 Passat Syncro, with TRW steering rack, with the VAG rebuild kit, the leaking continues.
