Brake pads Textar or Tesla
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.
Pros: feel like stock brakes
Cons: stock pads gave up
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 165761 km
Pastiglie freni: le cambi dopo 200.000 km
Pros: lunga durata
Mileage: 200000 km
Ultima oara am schimbat doar placutele cu textar semi-metalice. Iarasi super miltumit. Nu simt nici o diferenta fata de Otto-Zimmerman.
Pros: super miltumit
Cons: Nu simt nici o diferenta
I got genuine discs from ML performance for much much less than dealer prices, coupled with textar pads made to the same spec as M4 pads (M4 pads are also a drop in upgrade, I believe textar is OE for M4 pads), noticed minimal difference in performance though.
Pros: much cheaper, same spec
Cons: minimal performance difference
I have a 2018 Tesla Model 3 with 60k miles on it. Never been serviced beyond tires replaced, cabin air filter replaced and adding window washer fluid. Brakes look brand new.
Pros: Brakes look brand new
Mileage: 96560 km
With regenerative braking, you almost never need to replace brake pads.
Pros: regenerative braking
Rear motor oil pump. Plus the famous Tesla control arms and heat pump. A brake pad also disintegrated into nothing, so that was a weird one.
Mileage: 170000 km
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.
Pros: rear pads fine
Cons: anti-rattle decal melted, rattling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Mileage: 19312 km
I recently replaced some on a 981 with Textar and don’t recommend it. So much dust and some noise at low speed braking.
Cons: much dust, noise at low speed
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.
Cons: rendesen vis\u00edt lass\u00fa f\u00e9kez\u00e9skor
