Textar
The textar pads are great for normal and slightly aggressive driving. The initial bite is great compared to ceramic pads, although they do dust a lot. To me the trade off is worth it for great pedal feel.
I always use Textar - a boggo (albeit OE) brand, and never, ever have a problem.
I just daily my 17 GTI. The stock pads and rotors finally gave up at 103k miles. I was perfectly happy with the oem brakes, but not spending $700. I went Zimmerman and Texstar pads. So far no complaints, they feel like the stock brakes when they were new.
Ultima oara am schimbat doar placutele cu textar semi-metalice. Iarasi super miltumit. Nu simt nici o diferenta fata de Otto-Zimmerman.
At the moment i drive a 2014 volvo v60 it brakes for me when going under 30 mph and something comes in front of me and I brake (too) late has lots of dings and dongs imho as I used to mainly drive pre 2006 and pre 2000 cars.
Since we know Volvo has undersized the brake pistons for their SPA vehicles, leading to issues with pulsation. Instead of upsizing the brakes, they have released several pad revisions, have the latest pads slowed the occurance of brake pulsations?
Around 12k miles, the anti-rattle decal on the left front Textar pads melted and which made them rattle in the caliper over bumps. FCP Euro exchanged them for Pagid pads and no problem since. Rear Textar pads have been fine.
I recently replaced some on a 981 with Textar and don’t recommend it. So much dust and some noise at low speed braking.
N\u00e1lam ugyanez a helyzet, gy\u00e1ri t\u00e1rcsa a Textar f\u00e9kbet\u00e9ttel rendesen vis\u00edt lass\u00fa f\u00e9kez\u00e9skor. Sajnos m\u00e1skor is j\u00e1rtam m\u00e1r \u00edgy m\u00e1sik aut\u00f3n\u00e1l, \u00edgy legk\u00f6zelebb ezt biztosan nem fogom megvenni.
