Brake pads Centric or DIXCEL
I’ve always done centric. Good quality, good performance and good price
Pros: good quality, good price
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I replaced all 4 sets of pads on mine with Centric ceramic pads from rockauto. They are quiet and set brake dust. They have excellent grip on the new rotors.
Pros: quiet, low dust, good grip
Dixcel m pads good stopping and ultra low dust.
Pros: good stopping, low dust
I like Centric’s Posi Quiet brake pads. A little more bite than original pads with substantially less brake dust.
Pros: more bite, less dust
Vehicle:
BMW
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
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
Just did the rear brakes on my wife’s subaru, the dealership was back ordered on the OEM pads and had centric ceramics.
Cons: cheap pads
