Brake discs Bosch or OEM Volkswagen
Bosh quietcast never gave me any issue for my HRV.
Cheap ones used in a lot of shop lately for both rotors and pads are Bosch, and they hold up pretty well. I put a full set on my Suburban a couple years ago and have no complaints.
Again aftermarket will might be around $100 each for Bosch.
I just changed my rotors and pads myself on my 23 mazda 3, cost me $224 for 4 Bosch rotors and all new Bosch pads.
Get raybestos, powerstop, Bosch or akebono brakes. Akebono pads and Bosch Quietcast rotors are the best around
This time I bought some coated Bosch rotors and I look forward to seeing how they look in the spring.
Eurocarparts sell Bosch front brake discs for £70 each = £140 and £43 for front brake pads, they probably don't use ECP but many suppliers will be in the same ball park so does sound expensive but it depends on the brand they used.
Why after changing pads, greasing pins, new rotors, my brakes are still squeaking going through town and down the highway? The right side was noticeably more worn when I started the job, and that’s the one that’s squeaking. I put the new chrome inserts in the bracket too. OEM ac Delco pads and new Bosch quiet cast rotors. Used c clamp to push pistons back in. 2016 Yukon Denali
Not only does my '22 SE have the most atrocious grind and squeak all of you know, i have a nasty groove in one of them. I'm going to all new rotors and aftermarket pads when it comes time.
I’m running bosch quietcast pads/rotors all 4 corners, not a huge fan, probably wouldn’t do it again. They seem to “warp” easy getting some pulsating after only 15k on fronts and 5k on rears.
