Brake discs Textar or OEM Volkswagen

Textar Brake discs

I did mine recently. Purchased new guild pins and boots from rock auto and replaced them while I was at it. For rotors I like Zimmerman, pagid, brembo or textar. And pad I like semi metallic, preferably pagid or textar. For this particular brake job I went with textar rotors and a combination or trw and textar pads. Took me roughly 2-2.5 hours and cost me about 680 CAD. I flushed about a L of pentosin dot 4 through too.

Pros: easy to install, cost effective

2008 Passat V6 4-MO front rotors, calipers, caliper brackets, and brakelines are plug and play. You get a factory BBK with 345mm rotors and calipers with a slightly bigger piston....as to not screw with the MC and brake balance too much.

Pros: plug and play

Be careful with the Textar rotors. They're made in China, I had used them for years when they released but the warranty frequency rate was over double what I had with Zimmermann. Switched back and the come backs dropped back to normal. Made in Germany ftw.

Pros: Made in Germany
Cons: high warranty rate

my brakes started to vibrate a bit when braking at or above 70mph, and it's only progressively gotten worse. From the first inspection (always at the same dealer I bought it from), I've asked the techs to double check the rotors, as it just didn't seem right to me, but they always brushed it off as normal and no big deal. I just took it in for an inspection (now at 22,700~ miles), and they tell me that yes, my rotors are warped, and that I'll need to replace the rotors and pads to alleviate the issue.

Pros: no issues with pads
Cons: rotors warped, vibration when braking

Shaking issues happened around 20k. Replace the front rotors 526+ tax, and rear rotors need to be replaced soon (30k)... The quality of the OEM part is not good

Cons: quality not good
