Brake pads Textar or OEM KIA
I have a 2015 Kia Soul I bought new. In over 9 years, not a single thing has gone wrong with it - no repairs of any kind. Just oil, brakes and tires.
Pros: no repairs of any kind
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
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
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
What brake pad does work but they dust a lot seems to be Textar. Not many comebacks except that the clients complain that they are dirty.
Pros: works well
Cons: clients complain dirty
The rotors/brake pads are notoriously bad. The oem pads leave uneven deposits on the rotor. Causes shaking while braking. Ive replaced rotors twice. Got better pads and drilled and slotted rotors. No issues since.
Pros: better pads, drilled rotors
Cons: uneven deposits, shaking
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 109000 km
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
Junk. Brakes are too small. Have to replace quickly. Plastic shit interior.
Cons: brakes too small, plastic interior
Vehicle:
Kia Sorento
so much dust with textar pads on Zimmerman rotors. 3 weeks later my alloys are black.
Cons: too much dust
