vs
Brake pads Textar or OEM Audi
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
Paid £420 + £180 fitting for mine front and back on a 2019 Audi A4 by going via Euro Car Parts when the Audi garage quoted £1200!!
Pros: cheaper via Euro Car Parts
Cons: expensive at Audi garage
Vehicle:
Audi A4
Got a 2014 DSG and find around town it’s 22-26 mpg but 35 on long motorway runs.
Pros: manageable brakes
Cons: insurance isn’t great
Vehicle:
Audi S3
Our shop we use Zimmerman coated rotors and Textar pads. Napa Euro ADO R90 are also really good for commuter cars.
Pros: good for commuter cars
Textar is a renowned brand for brake pads. I like em. Although weirdly, I find their aftermarket pads to be better than the pads they supply to OEs like BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche.
Pros: good aftermarket pads
Cons: OE pads inferior
Audi 4 piston front brakes - 26lbs lighter
Pros: 26lbs weight reduction
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
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
