vs
Brake pads Textar or Centric
I did change my F30 with Textar and it was plug n play. No need to go big if you don’t go on track days often imo.
Pros: easy installation, plug and play
Vehicle:
BMW
I beat the hell out of some OE Textars in 110+ heat at Buttonwillow and they held up admirably. You don’t need anything more for the street.
Pros: held up well, high heat
I always had good results with textar and Zimmerman.
Pros: good results
I use all Textar disks and pads and they are excellent.
Pros: excellent disks and pads
If my customers choose aftermarket, I always get
380mm centric high carbon rotors
Centric posi-quiet ceramic brakes.
The centric rotors are the absolute best bang for your buck.
I find paid results in comebacks, and oddly enough I get a lot of comebacks when I use brembo brake pads and rotors (they are 100% a different formulation than the land rover brembo OEM spec)
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: comebacks
Vehicle:
Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Centric Premium is my preferred brand, I have used them for years and they don’t warp.
Pros: reliable, long lasting
Been running “Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads” since 2020 and nearly zero dust.
Pros: nearly zero dust
I've had Centric pads and rotors on the back (90944519) for 5 years and 40,000 miles. They're ok, but they're much noisier than OEM and tend to grab/groan at very low speed.
Pros: ok performance, long lasting
Cons: noisy, grabby at low speed
Mileage: 40000 km
Part number: 90944519
If you're looking for a solid set at a budget price, I've always had solid results from Centric and Power Stop brands on Rockauto. They're not high end by any means but they're cheaper than going OEM and they've always lasted at least 40,000+ miles. Also, if you go to Rockauto, do not be tempted by their economy category. The offerings in that section are very inexpensive but you absolutely get what you pay for. I went that route once out curiosity and the pads and rotors from the economy section were awful. Squealed and squeaked from day one and wore down insanely fast. Tried sound dampening sprays and re greasing. Never took the noise away.
Pros: long lasting, budget friendly
Cons: economy parts awful, noisy
Mileage: 40000 km
