My powerstop have no stopping issues in my scat
I had EBC pads and I don’t think they are worth the premium price in comparison to the powerstop. I actually went back to powerstop. I’ve also had the stop tech rotors and once again I don’t feel much difference between the two. I don’t track my car so they may be something different but for everyday driving and safety I trust the powerstop. I had ebc on my Audi as well but now I even use powerstop on it because I didnt feel the ebc were worth the premium for everyday driving. On my scat I currently have demon performance rotors and use powerstop pads.
I have used POWERSTOP Brake pads and rotors with good results. Available on Amazon.
For the price and quality I like PowerStop pads and rotors. Their carbon cermic pads and I opt for the drilled and slotted rotors. Had them on my truck and towed 10,000lbs. Have them on my wife's CX5.
I've been very happy with them on the street. I hardly ever notice dust. When it's cold they sometimes squeak getting out of the driveway, but never more.
I’m loving my powers too ceramic pads… the reduction in break dust is awesome
I’m happy with my PowerStops
Bosch’s Quietcast brakes have never done me wrong. I’ve used them in three vehicles now and had good pad life and performance on a budget. No squeaks, decent life for ceramics.
I replaced front pads and rotors on my Tiguan, and afterwards, when going between D <-> R and applying the brakes, the first brake application causes a "clack" on both sides at the front. Pads are Bosch 1633A. spring clips (integral to pads) are seated properly. Pads and rotors were bedded properly. Wheel lug bolts torqued properly. I have the official instructions from VW. I've probably done ~20 brake jobs in my life, mostly Volvos (over half of those were sliding-caliper designs like the Tiguan's). What I tried (with no success): searching and searching and searching forums, only found 2 other people with a similar issue on FCP's Brake Replacement YouTube video measured and compared all latereral dimensions of the pad's plate between new and old, same dimensions re-installed the pads all bolts are torqued properly (caliper carrier 200 Nm; caliper pin bolts 35 Nm) found a Tech Bulletin from VW that mentions there are inner- and outer-specific orientation for the pads. This appears to apply only to the Genuine (labeled TRW) pads, as all 3 Bosch pads are identical in every way that I can discern bought a set of Genuine VW pads (labeled VW), ensured the correct orientation of pads according to the Tech Bulletin, and they still clack. pad backing plate dimensions are the same as the Bosch. Ack! More money! bought a set of genuine caliper carriers (with the thinking that perhaps when I wire-wheeled the old caliper carriers to remove rust, it took off too much material). I didn't install them because I measured all the dimensions that interface with the pads and the new are identical to the old.
Started sticking after only a couple months. Warranty was only 90 days.
