Brake pads Textar or JURID
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'm running the JURID pads, too, and I'm at a little over 13k miles. No issues whatsoever...
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 13000 km
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
I can tell the pads are fairly recent and are Jurid brand so I know they've been replaced recently.
Pros: pads are fairly recent
You will need good 9.4" vented rotors & good pads like Ferodo, Pagid or Jurid.
Pros: good pads
When I picked her up, I was told my front and rear brake pads are all down 1mm already. At this rate I’ll likely need to replace them around 15k. I thought this made sense for the front pads since they’re the JURID high performance ones, but the rears being worn that much seemed strange. I don’t drive fast/brake hard/etc, never track, or do anything otherwise that should wear my brakes prematurely.
Cons: premature wear
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 7000 km
Jurid = stock BMW E36M3 pads, pretty good on the street, not to good on the track. DOn't know if there are different types
Pros: good on the street
Cons: not good on the track
Vehicle:
BMW
Volkswagen uses Jurid and Pagid Black compound brakepads as OEM on our Passats. The problem is that these pads take a very long time to correctly bed into the brake rotors. If these pads aren't bed correctly, over time they will wear unevenly on the rotor which causes vibration. That vibration is what causes your brakes to squeal!!
Cons: uneven wear, causes vibration
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
