Owner reviews for brake pads

I replaced the pads on with Endless MX-72. Similar progressive bite to OEM, just more and WAY more thermal capacity. They feel like the ultimate brake pad. Using OEM rotors, I've had zero \"warping\" since switching over. This leads me to think that the rotors aren't actually warping but the nature of the OEM pads leads to pad deposits on the rotors. I get close to 60,000 Miles out of a set and have never considered another pad after discovering them.

Got the APR 6-pots in the front, and now fabin' bits to sort out the APR 4-pots in the rear.

Mine makes brake noise also, swapped the front pads over to EBC greens and it’s quiet now. Sad that VW says that was normal on my 2021 SEL R Cross sport. Brake pad change was easy.

I run DS3.12 now and ran DS1.11 on my previous car on track and love them (better then PFC-08)

My stock OEM pads are Ferodo DS2500 and I love them for daily and light track days.

I put Stop Techs on my previous Mazda and they were far superior in performance and longevity.

Regardless, the front brake pedal feel is AMAZING, which has been confirmed by others who have driven the car. Love them.

So far I've spent 400€ on brakes, 100€ new battery, 1200€ on axles and other components related to them and maybe 150€ on oil and filters (2 oil changes so far)

I installed new front brake pads (Bosch quietcast 621) and they squeal when I'm driving with them. It doesn't seem to be generating a crazy amount of heat or wear but it's really annoying. So it turned out it was the clips that came with the pads. When I installed the new pads I didn't pull out the tab on the bottom clips. Driving with the new clips damaged them so they were no longer usable. I took the pads off and put the old clips on properly and the sound was gone.

only issue I have is the brakes are undersized for this car 10,000km replace under warranty then again at 20,000km.
