I’ve ordered the Raybestos Element3 for multiple vehicles and been happy with them
The Element 3's have treated me very well on multiple vehicles now.
I'm in WNY and run the Raybestos fully coated rotors and ceramic pads on my truck and wife's SUV. No issues so far after 3 years.
I would raybestos element 3 and akebono pads on my Lexus rx300. No complaints.
Raybestos Element 3. They last a while and bite pretty well when braking hard
Pretty happy with them so far.
I used Zimmerman rotors and OEM TRW pads in the back, no dust.
I would recommend Raybestos ST43s but they’re going to be the same price and availability is scarce.
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.
Also ordered Raybestos pads and rotors.
3) Lastly, the brake pads' bodies are the right dimensions to fit the caliper brackets, but why would the friction-material footprint be so much smaller?! I can only think of negatives with using these.
