Brake pads Textar or DBA
rear disc axle with prop valve, new textar pads
Pros: new pads
Vehicle:
Audi
I used OEM replacement Textar pads. At some later date I may go with something a bit more grippy, but for DD duties the Textar/Porsche pads seem to be more than up to the task.
Pros: up to the task
Cons: not very grippy
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I recommend Textar, great bite and no need of pre-heating. They also don't cause too much wear on the discs and on the other hand don't generate much brake dust.
Pros: great bite, low dust
Textar is an OEM supplier, and they're not that expensive - run with those. Same amount of dust as stock, but no noise, and stock like braking characteristics.
Pros: no noise, stock characteristics
Cons: same dust as stock
Textar is the OEM brand..which of course you can get from 1stVWparts.
Pros: OEM brand
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Dba xp pads with dba t3 rotors, but wouldn't use them again they dust like hell
Cons: lots of dust
