Brake pads TRW or Bendix
I swapped my stocks for TRW/Zimmerman pad/rotors and so far they feel good.
Pros: good feel
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Gol
I have Akebono on my 330 and TRW Ultra TXC1171 on my 328, I have to say the TRWs have excellent bite and the brake dust is minimal as well.
Pros: excellent bite, minimal dust
Vehicle:
BMW
Part number: TXC1171
Some DBA T2 slotted rotors and Bendix heavy duty or any other quality brand pad will be good.
Pros: good quality
Repco, whatever model serial for rotors and Bendix pads, then find someone to do it for you.
I would recommend getting TRW Ceramics if you're going to change them. Affordable, good stopping power, low dust, quiet
Pros: good stopping power, low dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Just did the rear brakes on my 2015 335i
Pros: easy installation
Vehicle:
BMW
TRW Ceramic Pads: Good for city driving, almost not dust, would not recommend for any track
Pros: Good for city driving
Cons: not recommend for track
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I currently have TRW NAO pads and zimmerman rotors all around on my S60, very dusty but bites harder than ceramic, especially when they are cold.
Pros: strong cold braking
Cons: very dusty
Vehicle:
Volvo S60
Driving a Saga MT 2024. Switched from the stock brakepads to Bendix Metal King's. Drove up and down Genting roads quite often, but damn, the braking grips are not what was advertised, and made worse during rainy days. Luckily I drove a manual transmission saga, so I could balanced out braking hard with employing low gear, to cater to a proper sudden stop, especially going downhill, with all the speed bumps up there. And the brake dust? Lord! It's like I painted my wheels with paint, each time I got home.
Cons: poor grip, excessive dust
Those Bendix Brake Pads have been almost doubled in price over store bought.
Cons: price almost doubled
