Brake pads Centric or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
I have 28k miles on my 2017 G2, the brake fluid was almost black. I flushed it all out, and I noticed some very minor air bubbles when we started initially pumping the brake fluid. I also switched over to new Centric pads and rotors. Much improved brake feel and firmness
Pros: improved brake feel, firmness
Cons: brake fluid black
Mileage: 28000 km
I've been running Centric for a while. Good price, not much dust, they work ok. Not much grab when very cold (ambient temp below 40), but they warm up pretty damn quick, so not a huge deal. Never heard a single squeak, so 10/10 for noise.
Pros: good price, little dust, quiet
Cons: poor cold grab
Centric high carbon blank rotors and Centric PosiQuiet ceramic pads. Great daily driver combo.
Pros: great daily driver combo
Last time I did brakes on my Tiguan I did Centric high-carbon, coated rotors and Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic pads that I got off of Rockauto. They have 20k miles on them now and I have zero complaints. They just do what they are supposed to, and have almost zero dust. Perfect in my book.
Pros: zero complaints, almost zero dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 32186 km
my GLI did it slightly but it went away when I switched to Centric Ceramic pads. Stock Organic pads were terrible in just about every aspect. The Centrics fixed every issue.
Pros: fixed every issue
Cons: stock pads were terrible

I went with the centric posi-quiets on my GLI. They are everything I hoped for. PS. the clips are a pain but I found a little deadblow hammer to the top of the pad and they popped right in.
Pros: everything hoped for
Cons: clips are a pain

I just replaced my brakes few weeks ago. I did TONS of research and the best combo I feel was Centric Premium rotors and Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic pads. Get from Rockauto and google 5% off coupon. I am super happy with them and no squealing at all. Just came back from a 1500 mile road trip with no issues.
Pros: no squealing, happy with them

Mileage: 1500 km
I have just put posi-quiets on my PP GTI and I'm experiencing vibration while driving at highway speed (68-80 mph, worst at 75ish). Re-checked torques and the faces of hubs/wheels were clean. Will go in for a balance but is it possible I got a **** rotor or something? Possible I have a bent hub and didn't realize it until the rotors were swapped?
Cons: vibration at highway speed

Our 2003 Santa Fe has 60,000 miles on it. Just had the accessory belt and tensioner replaced... I swear I had the brakes nearly to the floor every time I wanted to stop. It just felt like I had to keep pushing harder. It's like pushing into a sponge.
Cons: spongy brake feel
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Mileage: 96560 km
