I have the TRW ceramic brake pads on my E92 and they are excellent.

Got TRW pads from FCP, they work really well!
I got the ceramic TRW pads from FCP euro. You can find them from ShopDAP, VW dealership, etc. There’s multiple OE suppliers that all work great: TRW, Pagid, Textar. You can also go for the semi metallic equivalent if you want a little extra bite. I believe they all come with the wear sensor, you can simply cut it off at the base and pull out the wire. I’ve done this twice now, no problems. I suppose you could use the advance auto ones if you already have them, but just know they probably won’t give you as much bite as the stock pads, and may end up causing some warping over time since they aren’t designed for the heat temps.
TRW is the original brand manufacturing the control arms that are sold through VW and you can get those relatively cheap directly from TRW at least here in the US.
Job got done in about three evenings Biggest time sinks were figuring out how to use the caliper piston compression tool and getting my overtorqued/rusted lug nuts off. Drove up from Maryland to NYC with no problems so I think I did the job right.
After I replaced the steering rack in my '97 Cabrio project car, I felt that the steering was over-boosted. It wasn't \"loose\", but the steering effort was so light that it didn't feel very solid. I googled around for an afternoon looking for ways to reduce the boost from the power steering pump. After getting the bubbles out of the system by turning the steering wheel full lock left and right in the driveway a few times and topping up the reservoir, I was happy to find that the steering felt much better. Not too hard at slow speed, and not too easy at high speed.
Ball Joints: We use TRW
I have since ordered 2x rear brembo discs, 2x rear brembo pads with sensors and 1x TRW caliper all for £240.
I have had a few cars and will tell you that i have seen trw in 8v and 16v cars, it could be based on produciton time and date, they are not interchangable, the steering shaft connects differently on the racks
Nekem TRW tárcsa van kb 20e km-e, úgy behullámosodott, hogy le kell cserélnem
