I purchased some DBA Sport Rotors from Australia which came with, I'm pretty sure Bosch brake pads which were brilliant!
Lol definitely avoid duralast. My favorite combo is Centric OE coated rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads.
Am avut si eu la un golf 4 tot bosch.. scartaiau la viteza redusa.. cand eram aproape sa opresc.
Le-am schimbat si am pus ate. Din prima zi au mers brici fara nici un scartait.
I ended up picking up Bosch ceramics for the rear + new aftermarket rotors since the stock ones had 1 mm left to min thickness. Have tried not to brake too hard since install couple days ago, but had to a couple times anyway (toronto highway traffic) braking felt just as good as the stock pads.
Ceramic. No dust ????
Just take a little bit longer to warm up to bite... ????
I just installed the BC1846 Bosch pads on the rear of my CX5 - work great soo far.
I've used Bosch pads and rotors and they were fantastic. Fixed the brake squeal in my cx-5.
Bosch pads and rotors have been nice.
I replaced front pads and rotors on my Tiguan, and afterwards, when going between D <-> R and applying the brakes, the first brake application causes a "clack" on both sides at the front. Pads are Bosch 1633A. spring clips (integral to pads) are seated properly. Pads and rotors were bedded properly. Wheel lug bolts torqued properly. I have the official instructions from VW. I've probably done ~20 brake jobs in my life, mostly Volvos (over half of those were sliding-caliper designs like the Tiguan's). What I tried (with no success): searching and searching and searching forums, only found 2 other people with a similar issue on FCP's Brake Replacement YouTube video measured and compared all latereral dimensions of the pad's plate between new and old, same dimensions re-installed the pads all bolts are torqued properly (caliper carrier 200 Nm; caliper pin bolts 35 Nm) found a Tech Bulletin from VW that mentions there are inner- and outer-specific orientation for the pads. This appears to apply only to the Genuine (labeled TRW) pads, as all 3 Bosch pads are identical in every way that I can discern bought a set of Genuine VW pads (labeled VW), ensured the correct orientation of pads according to the Tech Bulletin, and they still clack. pad backing plate dimensions are the same as the Bosch. Ack! More money! bought a set of genuine caliper carriers (with the thinking that perhaps when I wire-wheeled the old caliper carriers to remove rust, it took off too much material). I didn't install them because I measured all the dimensions that interface with the pads and the new are identical to the old.
I ordered Bosch brake pads after installing them. I noticed a knocking sound and if you look in the pic there’s a gap at the top and bottom of the ears on the pad. I threw my old pads away so I couldn’t even compare them. Only when driving really slow then braking or in reverse. Didn’t do it every time but the noise is driving me crazy. I also installed new rotors front and back and it’s only the front driver side making that noise.
