Brake pads TRW or STOPTECH
I'm partial to StopTech Sports
Pros: preferred choice
Stoptech sports are the best dual use pad I’ve used…they’re great for fast street driving and they last.
Pros: great for fast driving, they last
I ended up buying stoptech all around and they lsst a twice longer and have a better bite for street use.
Pros: last longer, better bite
Stoptech Sport 309 pads are all I need on my stock power car.
Pros: all I need
Vehicle:
Mazda
I used Zimmerman rotors and OEM TRW pads in the back, no dust.
Pros: no dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Am placute și discuri trw de vreo 4 ani și aproape 100.000 km. Nu au scârțâit niciodată și la cum conduc eu sunt sigur că mai țin încă pe atât.
Pros: Nu au scârțâit niciodată
Mileage: 100000 km
"TRW LUCAS MCB54" organics are great. I am currently riding the "EBC FA29V Semi Sintered" but the bite point isn't as good as the TRW.
Pros: organics are great
Cons: bite point isn't good
Part number: MCB54
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
I installed Stop Techs in my 2016 WRX at around 10,000kms. Didn't notice much difference. Hated them, squeked a bit when new. But they left brown dust on my nice clean gold rims and I hated that. Swapped the stockers back in and again didn't notice much difference in stopping, maybe i had to push slightly more to come to a stop. But so glad I don't have shit coloured brown front rims.
Cons: squealing, brown dust
