vs
Brake pads Textar or WAGNER
I’ve used Wagner thermoquiet pads and the cheapest wholesale close out rotor with good results.
Pros: good results, inexpensive
Bosch and Wagner rotors and ceramic pads are my preferred brands. I put new Wagner front brake pads on the Frontier 5 1/2 years ago and they still have about 3mm left.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Nissan
I did change my F30 with Textar and it was plug n play. No need to go big if you don’t go on track days often imo.
Pros: easy installation, plug and play
Vehicle:
BMW
I used closesale WAGNER OEX906A (Premium) OEX and closesale AUTO EXTRA AX31314. they actually works amazing, especially auto extra with "P" is semi-coated with a little bit more price, I have very good experience with them and actually recommends it if you want to be cheap
Pros: amazing, works well
Vehicle:
Toyota
Part number: WAGNER OEX906A, AUTO EXTRA AX31314
I beat the hell out of some OE Textars in 110+ heat at Buttonwillow and they held up admirably. You don’t need anything more for the street.
Pros: held up well, high heat
I always had good results with textar and Zimmerman.
Pros: good results
I use all Textar disks and pads and they are excellent.
Pros: excellent disks and pads
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
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
I replaced my brake pads with Textar pads and they are squealing so bad that it is embarrassing to drive it around town. If you are standing outside the car it hurts your ears. I had Porsche sand down the edges of the discs and this has helped a little but not to the point I am satisfied. Although the pads are only a month old I have decided to replace them with another brand.
Cons: excessive squealing, unsatisfactory
