Brake pads Bendix or Centric
Centric pads and rotors are pretty good. As said above Akenono is OE for pads, maybe rotors too. I run Akebono pads and Brembo standard rotors on my cars. Nice and clean and never any noise and I swear the standard brembo rotors stop harder the centrics drilled/slotted rotors.
Pros: quiet, clean, good stopping
I use bendix on my truck and love it. I figure if they make good pads for the big rigs I work on, why not run them on my truck?
Pros: love it, reliable
I see no one mentioning bendix, they’re the only brand I’ve run on my 2010 Holden Colorado and work exceptionally well
Pros: work exceptionally well
A few years ago I went with Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic front pads - CENTRIC 10505690, currently $25.79 on RockAuto, and some Pagid front rotors from there. I know Pagid is a VW OEM and I have no reservations about their brake parts. I’ve run the posi-quiet pads on MK7 Golf and GTI and they’ve been fine.
Pros: they've been fine
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Part number: CENTRIC 10505690
I’ve used that combo on every car I’ve done brakes on and have had no issues. Great stopping power, very quiet, low dust.
Pros: great stopping power, quiet, low dust
I replaced the pads only to reduce brake dust (Centric Posi-Quiet).
Pros: reduce brake dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Install these. You will be glad you did....reduces brake dust by 90%. No difference in performance. I am 15K miles into mine and love these pads.
Pros: reduces brake dust, no performance difference
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 15000 km
The pads are very smooth but tend to creak at very low speed (like <2 mph) and they're very grabby when wet. 20k miles and they're maybe halfway worn down despite a lot of city driving and some very hard braking on a couple of mountain roads.
Pros: smooth, long lifespan
Cons: creaking, grabby when wet
Mileage: 20000 km
Matigas Bendix. Used it on my tucson. Nahihirapan mag brake.
Cons: hard to brake
The problem with Bendix pads is that they eat away the rotors too fast.
Cons: eats rotors too fast
