Brake pads Centric or Mintex
I'm a Mintex Red Box fan, I also upgrade to AutoTech drilled/vented rotors since I drive like I stole it. 2009 Jetta driver.
Pros: Mintex Red Box fan
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
I bought front and rear brake pads/ rotors (rock auto, centric brand, akebono brakes) for $300. It took me total about 3 hours since I had to bleed the brakes, change pads, rotors, and remove off jack stands.
Pros: cheap brake pads/rotors
Cons: 3 hours installation
I personally like Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads or powerstop ceramics. Low dust, brake plenty fine for daily use and spirited driving.
Pros: low dust, brake fine
Centric tactical police pads and wagner wave rotors. Best combo I've ever used. Used them on the race track \ud83d\udc4d
Pros: best combo ever
Funny but I gave the Centric brand ceramic pads a shot and did not see any difference with Akebono. Same bute, no dust, no esting rotors. Been about 5 weeks now and abiut 1000 miles. No issues
Pros: same bite, no dust
Cons: no difference with Akebono
Mileage: 1000 km
Lol definitely avoid duralast. My favorite combo is Centric OE coated rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads.
Pros: good combo, quiet pads
I replaced both my front brake discs and pads a month ago and have driven about 1075 miles. On the passenger side, one of the grooves has gone but the other remains and I feel like its getting worse although not 100% sure.
Cons: groove getting worse
Vehicle:
Audi TTS
Mileage: 1730 km
Vanno verificate le pinze, c'\u00e8 sicuramente un problema di scorrimento.
Cons: problema di scorrimento
Vehicle:
Mazda
I didn't like the Mintex Redbox pads on my Passat. They overheated too quickly and felt spongy.
Cons: overheated, felt spongy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
I used Mintex red's on the 54's - once, a while ago - and I was not impressed.
Cons: not impressed
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
