The problem is the OEM pads. I replaced my pads and only the pads with BOSCH pads, and it brakes fantastic now.

Pros: brakes fantastic now
Cons: OEM pads problematic

If you are looking for the best brake pads and rotors that will not pulsate, last a long time and work across a vast of vehicles, I suggest you look into Perfect Stop.

Pros: last a long time
Cons: not designer brakes

I've got AutoZone's gold ceramic pads on mine right now. They are made by Bosch, I know because they drop-shipped from the Bosch factory. Grippier than OEM, quiet for daily driving and decent for spirited driving.

Pros: Grippier than OEM, quiet

Fourth I would make sure you are using high quality pads and rotors. Use name brands like raybestos, centric, Bosch, etc. Lower quality brands will have more issues.

Pros: high quality pads and rotors
Cons: lower quality more issues

Depending on the tier of pads Autozone does source from Bosch. The big benefit to Autozone is that you only pay once as they do a lifetime warranty and it covers wear. I have their most expensive pads on my car and have replaced them twice a year for 5 years now.

Pros: lifetime warranty

Rating 2.5

had a track day over the weekend and saw that a hard, black substance that seems a little rubbery had formed on the brakes. The brake pads are Dixcel ES brake pads. I had not bedded them in and instead street drove with it for a couple months as the website suggested. Brake grease was placed on the pad surface contacting caliper. The track has lots of left turns and I braked from 170+ kmh to 80kmh on the first corner. I'm pretty new so i may have braked deep as I was turning. The substance formed heavily on right front wheel, less on left front and none on rear. Brakes were smoking lightly when i came into the pits. Braking feel didn't change throughout the day as I continued lapping. Car still tracked straight. I tried not to brake too hard and didn't observe any other substance buildup.

Cons: brake smoking, substance buildup

Bosch Brake pads

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.

Cons: clunking noise, shifting brake pads
Part number: BOSCH BE1633H
