Owner reviews for brake pads

I put Powerstop geomet brakes on my '15 over the winter and they have been solid. I've been pretty happy. They also don't look rusty at all so far.

Am avut si eu la un golf 4 tot bosch.. scartaiau la viteza redusa.. cand eram aproape sa opresc.

Le-am schimbat si am pus ate. Din prima zi au mers brici fara nici un scartait.

Akebono pads and zimmerman rotors are just about the best brands you could have picked, good choice.

brembo. better than the bmw ones

the Akebono pads take a bit to get used to because the initial bite is softer which basically just means for the first couple seconds you brake you have to apply more pressure or at least it feels like you do. Its more of a feeling tho and the benefits of quality ceramic pads far outweigh any downsides.

I bought Dynamic Friction for my wife’s car and have been happy with them.

I ended up picking up Bosch ceramics for the rear + new aftermarket rotors since the stock ones had 1 mm left to min thickness. Have tried not to brake too hard since install couple days ago, but had to a couple times anyway (toronto highway traffic) braking felt just as good as the stock pads.

Shoot, I turned the rotors and got Bendix pads from RockAuto. Stopped great and smooth.

We got our top of the line 2015 Starex brand new when it was released in 2016. Still works, did have a lot of repairs. It used to travel to and from QC to Baguio in it's early days but now mainly within Metro Manila (QC to Las Pinas, QC to Manila). It's got a lot of mileage now and the suspensions and break pads need fixing on top of having electricals reworked (fuses of some functions had to be removed cause they were malfunctioning). Basically running po siya but needs a lot of work done.

Yeah wish I knew this before I put them on this weekend. Brand new wheels lol. I’ve been wiping them down every night
