Brake pads TRW or OEM Audi
I know it’s not a Q7, but I’ve got a 2019 C8 A6 and recently had my read pads replaced by an independent, £275 but that also included my MOT at the same time.
Pros: pads replaced by independent
Vehicle:
Audi A6
I didn't touch the calipers, I thought the calipers were ATE, but could be TRW. I only changed out rears at this time, fronts are still the same. The pads are TRW ceramic something or others that came with zimmerman rotors in the cheapish FCP kit.
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
I like the stock TRW performance pack pads on Brembo rotors. Stock PP brakes are more than good enough for a daily driver that gets occasional spirited driving. I also got 65,000 miles on the original set, which is a bonus
Pros: long life, good performance
Mileage: 65000 km
They handle brake fade quite well. Did a run down tail of the dragon and had no issues.
Pros: handle brake fade well
Vehicle:
Audi S4
One of my inner rear pads went at 110k. FCP euro has a full brake kit front and rear rotors with Zimmerman and TRW ceramic pads for around $400. It's OEM style replacement, so no real upgrade performance to speak but it's a daily not a track car and the price was right.
Pros: price was right
Cons: no real upgrade performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
Mileage: 110000 km
Zimmerman blank rotors + TRW pads. I just did my first brake change and these are silent and cost less than $400 for rotors/pads/bolts/grease.
Pros: silent, cost effective
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Gol
I swapped my stocks for TRW/Zimmerman pad/rotors and so far they feel good.
Pros: good feel
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Gol
remember there are 5-7 different brake pad manufacture's that VW uses and slaps their logo on it. Buying from dealer or third party with a VW logo on it doesn't mean they are exactly perfect. its a shame that VW charges those prices and still have this issue, yet you could buy jane plane TRW/ATE pads and be fine.
Pros: TRW/ATE pads are fine
Cons: VW branded pads not perfect
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Tiguan
TRW Ceramic Pads: Good for city driving, almost not dust, would not recommend for any track
Pros: Good for city driving, almost not dust
Cons: not recommend for track
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
TRW a kezdetektől 4/1 sípol, sosem lehet tudni.
Cons: sípolás
