vs
Brake pads Textar or OEM Mercedes
Reviews
I use all Textar disks and pads and they are excellent.
Pros: excellent disks and pads
Mercedes-Benz E55 AMG. Nothing particularly bad but having a German for it's age, essentially a supercar, and close to 200,000km when I sold it, quite a few bits and pieces needed replacing. Mechanically the best car I ever owned though. Just hoses, sensors, bushes, brake disc's and pads that kind of thing.
Pros: Mechanically the best car
Cons: bits and pieces needed replacing
Mileage: 200000 km
In prepping the car for sale they spend $10,000 on \"all 100k maintenance items and known chronic problems,\" including brake pads and rotors
Pros: brake pads replaced
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
I don't like MBs organic brake pads, I went ceramic and have nearly eliminated all brake dust and good stopping power. I do, very much so, love my MB rotors.
Pros: good stopping power, eliminates brake dust
Cons: MB organic pads
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
Brake rotors are ATE and pads are Textar.
Vehicle:
BMW
MB advisor here, GLC brakes are horrible with noise.
Cons: noisy brakes
Textar is hot garbage these days unfortunately
Cons: poor quality
