I’ve had stock set up, powerstop rotors with Hawk LTS Truck/SUV pads, and my current set up is Bosch severe duty pads with Advics premium rotors. So far the current set up is my favorite. I really prefer the immediate “bite” of semi metallic pads.
In comparison to the stock setup, the Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors aren't as touchy or responsive. They do require a little bit more pedal travel for normal stopping power. However, they do offer more precise control over how much power is applied throughout the pedal stroke. They are also incredibly quiet and smooth.
Replaced all four disc brake pads (not rotors) at 109,000 kilometres. Recent highway travel in very harsh winter conditions on new blizzaks over 7 days.
2018 elantra sel, original owner. Mostly city driving - 8k miles/year. 47k miles now. Just wear and tear issues - front brake pads and rotor at 35k.
I've been doing my own brake job for a while and have used Bosch QuietCast rotors and Bosch QuietCast Premium Disc brake pads, both purchased from Amazon. No complaints.
Just replaced all four brake pads and rotors on my 2018 MZ3 hatch with 46,000 miles. Used Bosch quiet cast brake pads and rotors. Paid around $350 for parts and took me around three hours.
I change brakes at least yearly, sometimes more often if I'm driving in mountainous areas alot. I always buy the Bosch ceramic brakes and just buy the low cost rotors because I change them at every brake change (cheaper than having them turned in Phoenix). I buy everything off Amazon. A four wheel brake job will cost me less and $100. 2019 LE.
I've been using the Bosch QuietCast ceramic brakes in the past and have zero complaints so I think I'll go with these: BOSCH BC1212 QuietCast; Ceramic - Rear ($26.79) BOSCH BC2076 QuietCast; Ceramic - Front ($37.79) I'm looking for high quality/high value. I don't need "high performance", I'm not doing any track stuff, just basic commuting but would like longevity, value, performance, etc. I ended up getting: POWER STOP JBR1763SCR (Daily Driver) Semi-Coated - Front BOSCH BC2076 (Premium) QuietCast; Ceramic POWER STOP JBR1764SCR (Daily Driver) Semi-Coated - Rear BOSCH BC1212 (Premium) QuietCast; Ceramic It was around 260 dollars with tax and shipping.
We got our top of the line 2015 Starex brand new when it was released in 2016. Still works, did have a lot of repairs. It used to travel to and from QC to Baguio in it's early days but now mainly within Metro Manila (QC to Las Pinas, QC to Manila). It's got a lot of mileage now and the suspensions and break pads need fixing on top of having electricals reworked (fuses of some functions had to be removed cause they were malfunctioning). Basically running po siya but needs a lot of work done.
I bought me some Bosch ceramic brake pads that are being advertised as low noise and low brake dust. Instead, I'm getting massive amounts of brake dust on my rims.
