vs
Brake pads Textar or JURID
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
Buy pads and the sensor from FCP Euro. Use their lifetime replacement warranty for the next set. Went to the dealer in July for an alignment and they recommended pads for a similar price. I bought pads rotors and sensors for front and back, total was $1000 for BMW parts. You could save with Jurid which is listed as OE and OEM. My pads are at 4mm all around so I'm actually waiting for the sensor to trip before doing the job.
Pros: lifetime warranty, good price
Vehicle:
BMW M2
front brake pads (textar) for gti with performance pack, bolts, anti-squeal, grease; normally $70+
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
The rest (brake pads), I guess this is OEM but if you go to Sharjah and buy the parts yourself, I am confident you can get much lower prices, especially if you buy aftermarket such as Textar which is a OEM supplier.
Pros: lower prices, good quality
Quality pads and rotors tend not to warp out in a couple hundred miles. If you bought Durlast junk from Autoroo then that's the reason. Stick with OE/OEM Quality like ATE rotors and Textar pads.
Pros: OE/OEM Quality
Cons: Durlast junk
I haven't done VW brakes in a while, but I usually use Textar pads on my BMW and Mini. They are OE supplier for most of the BMW brakes, but they do make a lot of dust.
Pros: OE supplier
Cons: make a lot of dust
Vehicle:
MINI
Textar is hot garbage these days unfortunately
Cons: poor quality
so much dust with textar pads on Zimmerman rotors. 3 weeks later my alloys are black.
Cons: too much dust
