Brake pads Bosch or DIXCEL

There’s a rotor and pad combo I’ve used on our allroad 6MT, Escalade ESV & 07 Beetle Vert 3x White. Through trial & error we discovered the only way to keep the under braked 3T Escalade rotors from warping due to pad material buildup was to go countersunk gas slotted & x drilled rotors. They were added to the other vehicles because we found Bosch ceramic pads and the hot galvanized rotors will NOT rust. The Beetle has been running the same pads and rotors since ‘14. They’re silent, don’t leave dust and have amazing pedal feel when cold or hot. They also look new because they don’t rust. The last and unexpected benefit of these rotors is that they don’t fade from heat or water saturation.

Usually for pads though I go with Bosch ceramic for my cars and Bosch semi metallic for my trucks. I have never had an issues and get great life from my pads.

I've been very happy with Bosch Quietcast. I use them on all my cars. Pricier than Centrics, but never had a problem in 20 years and a dozen cars.

When I bought my 17 PP the previous owner had Bosch pads installed that screeched nonstop, i avoided driving through parking lots because of how bad it sounded. I replaced them with Brembo pads and couldn’t be happier

I just put Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors on my Volvo and they’re great.

Dixcel ES pads are a “fast street” pad with low noise and dust that out perform oem pads and can be used for light track application also with effective heat range of 0-600 degrees Celsius. I think they’re the best “bang for buck” pad you can get.

On my recent rear brake job on the Mazda5 I ordered Bosch pads through Amazon. They seem to be doing the job and I have no complaints.

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 use Bosch ceramics on mine and they're amazing.

I replaced my brake pads front and rear today with some good quality Ceramic pads. I had just done the fronts a couple months ago but I used some Bosch pads that one of the parts suppliers gave me to try. They were supposed to be their best. They were quiet and smooth but produced crazy dust!
