Brake pads Bosch or Bendix

I've used the cheapo Wearever rotors/pads from autoparts stores, and the Bosch Quietcast. Hands-down, as long as I can afford it, I will be using QuietCast if it's available.

I just did my Rotors and brakes on my 2nd Gen 2005 and used Bendix Rotors PRT5716 for rears and PRT5675 for front. As for pads I used their Premium Copper free CFC1100 and it major difference in stopping feels like its brand new again. Also pads I did before I hated they were Wagner Ceramic Thermo quiet pads and they squeaked non stop min put them in it drove me nuts I got money use out of them and used them till I couldn't take squeaking anymore LOL

I use Bosch ceramics on mine and they're amazing.

I went with Bosch QuietCast rotors and pads . The Akebono pads performed well, but wore out faster than I'd expected. I don't know if the low wear on them caused scoring of the rotors or if it was the calipers not doing a proper job... but I did not detect a loss in brake performance, which was really strange. This was happening to the rear, so maybe the front end brake system was compensating.

Also my rear brakes say Bosch on the center of the pad so mine could be different from yours if yours aren’t showing the brand.

Bendix pads are very good. I haven't tried their rotors, but I wouldn't hesitate next time I have to change out.

Wanted brakes for the same car? Ordered Bendix. Bendix has been Ford's brake OEM for decades now.

The anodized drilled/slotted rotors just got their 2nd pad change with Bosch quietcast ceramic pads. Zero noise,much less brake dust and last longer than the 2 years of the messy oe pads on our 3.7 ton Yukon.

New brakes. All OEM replacements, however the Bosch pads are a bit squeaky

I just replaced the pads (Bosch BE1633H) and rotors (Textar 5Q0615301G) on my MK7 R, and after torqueing everything I noticed a clunk when rolling up and down my driveway (happened only when going from forward to reverse or vice versa). I jacked the car up, took the wheels off, and checked all the bolts, everything was tight and torqued to spec. I then noticed that the brake pad itself is shifting.
