I had aftermarket front brakes installed by a local mechanic for around $300. They ended up squeaking constantly and just didn’t feel right. I eventually had them redone with genuine Honda brakes at the dealership — it cost me $575, but the difference was night and day. No noise, smooth feel, and it came with a 12-month warranty.
EBC make some great pads and rotors
I reckon Endless MX72+ are the go for daily driving or Project Mu.
150,000 miles on a Model Y, cabin air filter a few times, tires, checked the brake pads recently, they were fine.
NO MORE BRAKE DUST! No squeaking or squealing, they actually seem to stop better.
I've had great experiences with EBC Yellowstuff pads in prior vehicles. Super aggressive bite, will chew through rotors though so take that as it is. I like the current setup on my 23 Turbo, went oem front rotors and some Duralast Golds. Rear are DFC rotors and their 5000 series ceramics. Stops pretty nice, liking the feel but I also changed brake fluid at brake change, that may have helped.
The oem brakes on my 2012 were lackluster and kept seizing pins or calipers so I fixed the problem for good
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.
However, on Toyotas, I always pay the extra money for genuine Toyota discs and pads. They’re still made in Japan or the US. Whereas all of the aftermarket options for Toyotas are Chinese-made junk. And since those aftermarket ones wear out so fast, they end up being the more expensive option per mile vs the genuine parts.
Textar is hot garbage these days unfortunately
