Brake pads OEM Nissan or Centric
Reviews
IMO do not put anything OEM on the car as a replacement. Find something with a better pad/rotor combo that doesn't leave deposits Ilike Centric stuff a lot with the Ceramic pads. Good combo
Pros: Good combo
Cons: rotors at 30k miles
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 30000 km
Centric ceramic brake pads
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I switched to Centric PosiQuiet Ceramic Pads and not only they brake better, but produces little to no dust.
Pros: better braking, low dust
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 have an 80zx with an sbc swap, i’ve rebuilt all 4 brakes, replaced a master, swapped coiled did bushings replaced u joints
Pros: aftermarket solutions
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
The pads are very smooth but tend to creak at very low speed (like <2 mph) and they're very grabby when wet. 20k miles and they're maybe halfway worn down despite a lot of city driving and some very hard braking on a couple of mountain roads.
Pros: smooth, long lifespan
Cons: creaking, grabby when wet
Mileage: 20000 km
Just did the rear brakes on my wife’s subaru, the dealership was back ordered on the OEM pads and had centric ceramics.
Cons: cheap pads
