ATE OEM size Front (288x25) & Rear (232x9) Brake Discs Bosch Quietcast front & rear brake pads
I'm running bosch quietcast ones on mine. They were on rock auto for like $70 shipped for both front and rear. They are ceramic
Decided to pull the wheel, and found a TRW stamp on the caliper, so it's been ID'd. Anyone need a set of Bosch BC1456 pads for the Bosch calipers?
There’s a rotor and pad combo I’ve used on our allroad 6MT, Escalade ESV & 07 Beetle Vert 3x White. Through trial & error we discovered the only way to keep the under braked 3T Escalade rotors from warping due to pad material buildup was to go countersunk gas slotted & x drilled rotors. They were added to the other vehicles because we found Bosch ceramic pads and the hot galvanized rotors will NOT rust. The Beetle has been running the same pads and rotors since ‘14. They’re silent, don’t leave dust and have amazing pedal feel when cold or hot. They also look new because they don’t rust. The last and unexpected benefit of these rotors is that they don’t fade from heat or water saturation.
Usually for pads though I go with Bosch ceramic for my cars and Bosch semi metallic for my trucks. I have never had an issues and get great life from my pads.
I've been very happy with Bosch Quietcast. I use them on all my cars. Pricier than Centrics, but never had a problem in 20 years and a dozen cars.
When I bought my 17 PP the previous owner had Bosch pads installed that screeched nonstop, i avoided driving through parking lots because of how bad it sounded. I replaced them with Brembo pads and couldn’t be happier
I just put Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors on my Volvo and they’re great.
On my recent rear brake job on the Mazda5 I ordered Bosch pads through Amazon. They seem to be doing the job and I have no complaints.
I don't know much about Stop-Tech, however, I have heard from a friend that used Wilwood that these perform best in non-Winter driving conditions. He said that over time they will not stand up as well as a Brembo set up. It might be worth noting what climate (Alaska vs California) that you spend most of your driving time in as well when factoring a BBK upgrade. I also noticed that you are quite new to this group so allow me to introduce you to the member who will derail all original posts into something else to the point where your thread may get locked up. See below. GoGo Golf R said: Ok let's try to agree on the following: 1) Upgrading the brakes is mostly justified for track driving purposes No, Personal preference. 2) Changing the brake pads will reduce dust for street driving Depends on your pad choice 3) Changing the brake pads, rotors and brake lines is pricy Subjective 4) The OEM brakes, while not totally ideal for every driving style, will suffice for average street drivers and some track drivers Depends on your driving style 5) Downshifting with correct rev-matching, will extend the duration and reduce wear on the brakes Yes because replacing your clutch is much cheaper than new pads :screwy:
