Brake pads Bosch or OEM Audi

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

The rear brake wear on the B9 SQ5 is a known thing. The programming for stability control is super aggressive on applying the rear brakes on turns to keep the rear of the car planted so the rear pads wear down fast if you are even just a moderately spirited driver. The rear pads on my SQ5 only lasted 17k before reaching 2mm

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

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 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.

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!

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.
