If you are cheap like me you will swap to Akebono Ceramic pads. Rotor will last 4x longer.

Pros: rotor will last longer

I believe Akebono makes them. I put them on all my cars, the ceramic pads are quiet, little dust, don’t fade and last a long time.

Pros: quiet, little dust

Cons: don’t fade

I changed the front pads and rotors for the first time in my ‘17 at 116k miles in July. I went with Zimmerman Z coat 312mm non-pp rotors and Akebono ceramic pads. 4k miles on the new parts and the bite and pedal response is excellent!

Pros: excellent bite and response

Vehicle: Volkswagen

Mileage: 116000 km
