Brake pads Mintex or JURID
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.
Jurid is good brand, I have ceramic pads on all the family BMW and they are nice very light brake dust on wheels, I used akebono pads, but I would not have an issue if I had to switch to Jurid
New Jurid front brake pads and a new front brake pad wear sensor April 2025.
I’ve had these Jurid pads on my 2019 S for about four months now and they’ve been great so far.
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.
Vanno verificate le pinze, c'\u00e8 sicuramente un problema di scorrimento.
Pads I went with Jurid as they’re oem and wanted strong initial bite. The Jurids nock when I reverse, apply brake, shift to drive and apply again. It’s very annoying. My original BMW OEM pads didn’t do this.
In hindsight, however, I do drive 15 miles up/down/through a mountain pass 5 days a week. That’s gotta be the culprit!
I didn't like the Mintex Redbox pads on my Passat. They overheated too quickly and felt spongy.
I used Mintex red's on the 54's - once, a while ago - and I was not impressed.
