I currently have all four corners replaced with Hella Pagid on a 2018 Golf. I’ve had them on for 2.5 years and 60,000km. Love them just as good as OEM and I believe there are also a OEM supplier to VW depending where they’re sold.
Two rotors=$100. Set of pads about $50. Couple wrenches, jack and jack stands.
Pagid is decent, I used them on my Cayman and it's survived 20 Laps of the Nurburgring and a track day.
I fitted a Pagid discs and pads (fronts and rears) to my Octavia vRS a couple of months back and don't notice any difference from the previous OEM. Paid £230 just for the parts.
All 10th gen civics do this.. 10th gen accord, and we've noticed it on some 11th gen civics, too... There was an updated pad that's supposed to help with it..
I'm running the cheapest coated rotors from rockauto and Pagid "OE" pads and I'm happy with it.
I use Pagid RSL29s on my M3, I don't bother switching pads after events. They work great on the street but I'm in Texas so it rarely gets below 45 degrees here. They squeal but the dust isn't too bad. I don't daily it but I wouldn't have an issue if I did. The squeal is annoying but really not too bothersome to me even though I drive 95% of the time with my windows down.
I had rears replaced at 40k. At 60k now. I’ve always had a rumbling sound and vibration when breaking from 60-55 mph (around 57) since 40k.
You'll need decent pads, and ones that can handle a car with a bit of weight behind it, think Pagid RSL29, Winmax W5 or Mintex 1166 if you're not going mad. You'll want to flush out your brake fluid and replace it with something that will take the heat as the tiny brakes on a 325i WILL overheat, its not a matter of if, its a matter of when, good fluid will stop you from boiling it and crashing!
my 08 Accord went through rear pads every 18-20K miles. They were way too soft.
