Brake pads Bosch or ENDLESS

I put Bosch quiet cast pads and BREMBO rotors on my 2018 and have been very pleased with both.

Rear Calipers -Bosch Pads

After a year I replaced the brakes and rotors, and the mechanics specifically said to stick with major brands like Bosch because they are standard, easy to work on, and easy to order parts for.

Was told to replace all my discs and brake pads too a few weeks back when I did my MOT. Tight on money atm so decided to do it myself and I’m glad that I did because I saved myself a lot of money, only paid for parts and then a few hours of my time. Ordered the whole set from AutoDoc and the total was £220 for Bosch parts, so not exactly budget either. Also, garages with cheapest quotes might opt to use budget parts which could end up squeaking etc, so just keep that in mind, but I’d say do it yourself if you wanna save the most money.

Bosch quiet cast brake pads and rotors are a phenomenal aftermarket option.

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

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.

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.

I installed new front brake pads (Bosch quietcast 621) and they squeal when I'm driving with them. It doesn't seem to be generating a crazy amount of heat or wear but it's really annoying. So it turned out it was the clips that came with the pads. When I installed the new pads I didn't pull out the tab on the bottom clips. Driving with the new clips damaged them so they were no longer usable. I took the pads off and put the old clips on properly and the sound was gone.

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.
