Brake pads Hella Pagid or R1 Concepts
Yes, decent enough. Just changed discs and pads on my Passat and no issues.
I've had really good luck after swapping to R1 Concepts pads and rotors on my Taos. no brake dust and predictable stopping.
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.
I just switched to R1 concepts Geomet pads, and drilled and slotted rotors. They're just as good as OEM from what I can tell.
R1 concepts were an upgrade on my 2nd gen and got me through 4 years of abuse because the OEM ones would brake fade terribly. On my Camry they only lasted a year.
I put a set of r1 concepts pads and rotors on my wrx that I daily got them off Amazon for like $250 and came in like 2 days had them on for around 7500 miles and haven't had any issues.
I have R1 concepts from Amazon, perfect for the car and stopping power.
be mindful with those pagid pads. they’ve been making noise on a lot of cars we’ve put them on recently. massive chucks of metals in them. still stop great but may make some noise
You will need brake cooling/ducts or will need to remove the dust shield to get more airflow (or both), went through a brand new set of rear Pagid RS29 endurance pads in less than a weekend in July when I first got the first F80 years ago. The heat did a number on them in the afternoons with ambient temps over 90 and all the 150ish to 40ish and 130ish to 30ish on the back and front straights respectively
I went through a set on my M4 in two days. Have Pagid RSL29 now and three very hard driving days in they show little if any wear
