Brake pads Bosch or Mintex

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.

I did Redbox pads on my B5.5 Passat with 312 rotors, and I loved them. I skimped out when I first did the upgrade and went with CARQUEST pads and absolutely hated them. Maybe that's why I liked the Redbox so much....

Mintex Redbox are always on my list for Daily Driver pads on VWs. I just started into my 3rd set on my 180k wagon. In contrast, the Mintex are linear, fairly quiet, wear well, are easy on rotors, low dust and can tolerate a bit of spirited driving.

Just bought some Bosch brake pads and rotors off of Amazon. Made in China as well. The quality of the products were good too. Fit perfectly and works very well.

Once the mintex pads had sufficiently cleaned the rotors, the pulsing was gone. Granted, they are much dustier, but I'll take that over the constant pulsing.

MINTEX Pads All Around

I use Bosch QuietCast brake pads. Never had a problem and work great.

Stock pads have always been like that. My MKIV was like that as well especially in the rear. So I changed them with Mintex pads.

I replaced the rears with Mintex pads and still I get more dust on the rear wheels, but not as much as the VW stock pads.

Yeah Mintex suck. I'm almost finished with mine.
