Brake pads OEM Volkswagen or Duralast
I went with Dynamic Friction instead after hearing lots of negative feedback, so far very happy 6 mo later. I drive fast and they stop very well. Does produce quite a bit of brake dust though.
I have Dynamic friction 5000 low metallic pads on my 21 3.3 G70 RWD and love them, better bite but dust a bit more than OEM but no brake judder for the 5k miles I've had them on so far.
I've been using Dynamic Friction 1000141300 track pads from Rockauto. They've seen 6 or 7 track days now and have work really well without overheating. They also do fine on the street.
You'll find most common needs (brake pads, etc) in stock everywhere, and rarer parts will be easy to find in a day or two.
I have the Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads and they've been a nice improvement. Have no brake judder, better bite, and a bit more dusting from the pads (great tradeoff IMO).
Duralast gold rotors and elite brake pads. Great price and performance. If they wear out too early - free replacement. If they wear out just fine - you got your money’s worth.
I'm kind of disappointed with the factory VW pads that came with my 2019. My 2013 ran for 120K before the brakes needed replacement. Also, these pads leave a lot of brake dust on the side of the car.
VW of macon charged me over 600 for just the front pads and rotors - that's with a friend's and family deal because my dad used to work there. Apparently the OEM parts are super steep.
Secondly, defective Rear Disk Brake Pads that wore out on a majority of 22` Taos which was a covered rear Brake replacement if it was under 2ydears and 24 months. I just missed the cut-off and was$700 poorer.
My front brake rotors warped at ~12K miles. I had them machined and they lasted about another 12k until I replaced them with aftermarket Centric. Those lasted ~12K miles until they warped. At this time I went back to VW OEM rotors and they lasted ~12k miles. I had the OEM's machined, but now they are warped again. Along the way I tried some aftermarket pads, and generally had problems I purchased a pair at NAPA and they were sloppy in the caliper and would shift and click when applying the brakes in reverse. Went back to OEM on the pads and have no problems.
