Rear Calipers -Bosch Pads
2016.5 CX-5 with 89,000 miles. So far I've had to replace the belt tensioner, accessories belt, water pump belt and breaks (technically I only needed pads and front rotors but I chose to just do them all in one shot since it made a negligible price difference since I was already doing the back pads.
Brakes - about to get them changed for the first time.
After a year I replaced the brakes and rotors, and the mechanics specifically said to stick with major brands like Bosch because they are standard, easy to work on, and easy to order parts for.
Was told to replace all my discs and brake pads too a few weeks back when I did my MOT. Tight on money atm so decided to do it myself and I’m glad that I did because I saved myself a lot of money, only paid for parts and then a few hours of my time. Ordered the whole set from AutoDoc and the total was £220 for Bosch parts, so not exactly budget either. Also, garages with cheapest quotes might opt to use budget parts which could end up squeaking etc, so just keep that in mind, but I’d say do it yourself if you wanna save the most money.
Bosch quiet cast brake pads and rotors are a phenomenal aftermarket option.
The problem is the OEM pads. I replaced my pads and only the pads with BOSCH pads, and it brakes fantastic now.
If you are looking for the best brake pads and rotors that will not pulsate, last a long time and work across a vast of vehicles, I suggest you look into Perfect Stop.
oem brake pads are ceramic (low noise, low dust, minimal rotor wear, less bite)
Replaced front and rear pads with Bosch quietcast ceramic pads. Greased the back of the pads and slides. Pads squeak obnoxiously when cold. So when I roll out of my driveway and brake it’s loud. Then down the street I brake and it’s loud. But once I get rolling onto the main road and they warm up it makes no noise.
