Owner reviews for brake pads

I just traded in my 2019 Jetta with 65000 miles, never changed the brakes, but looked at them at 60000. It looks like they were at thick as new, insane. Would stop on a dime.

slapped on hawk pads and it’s been great way less dust than OEM

I have those same pads on my 2018 PP and they don't squeal at all

The z23 pads handle heat better but they’re not that aggressive in terms of needing to warmup. Its still very much a street pad. For me pedal pressure feels stiffer but slightly spongier than stock if that makes sense. Not a bad thing just something to get used to, and you get used to it quickly. I’d recommend them.

If you’ve still got UFO fronts the part number for pads is ATE 602847 (13.0460-2847.2)

Stock brake pads lasted 3 track days which is insane for £65. Ive never had such good stock pads, I nearly always upgraded them and I'd never use stock pads on track as thats mental, but these are insane.

I think ebc blue are pretty good for what you need. Only downsides are that they are dusting a lot and they're going to last only several track day sessions.

I recently switched to DTC-60 for my first full on race pad. Worked fine for my turbo car except my calipers got crazy hot.

Brembo may have great stopping power but if this is the shelf life of their products definitely regret optioning them.

Nie wieder Brembo! Bei mir haben sich die Beläge aufgelöst und die Scheiben waren auch nach kurzer Zeit komplett hin. Ich bin ca. 15-20.000 km gefahren und musste dann alles wieder komplett wechseln. Ich war wirklich unfassbar enttäuscht weil ich dachte mit Brembo macht man alles richtig.
