Brake pads Textar or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
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

has anyone driven the new Elantra? I mean, I was IMPRESSED. I daily drive a 12 year old car, but the features, comfort, and ride blew me away. The steering's light, the brakes are touchy, but what a terrific commuter car. It's amazing to see how good these economy cars are, that the Elantra should place last. I fell in love with the Elantra the 4 days I got to drive it.
Pros: features, comfort, terrific commuter
Cons: steering light, brakes touchy
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
I have good experience with Textar pads, both epad and normal ones. Currently I have ATE rotors, but they had to be resurfaced because of warping, so no recommendation from me
Pros: good experience with Textar pads
Cons: ATE rotors warped
Had to take out a loan fr 3k for brake pads and labour to put them on. From a huge well known dealership. Local mechanic did the same thing for around 300 dollars a year later when they failed.
Pros: cheaper local mechanic
Cons: expensive dealership service
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Our 2003 Santa Fe has 60,000 miles on it. Just had the accessory belt and tensioner replaced... I swear I had the brakes nearly to the floor every time I wanted to stop. It just felt like I had to keep pushing harder. It's like pushing into a sponge.
Cons: spongy brake feel
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Mileage: 96560 km
