Brake pads Bosch or OEM Hyundai

Bosch Brake pads

I own a 91’ fj80 land cruiser. I have limited options for OEM stuff these days due to the truck being 30+ years old. I’ve got a CSF radiator in mine because having my OE unit re-cored was $1000+ and the csf was ~450. Toyota new stock, unavailable. I use 555 rod ends and sumo brand rebuild kits, koyo bearings. OE suppliers for toyota without the dealer markup. They’re quick to get here and prices are competitive (i got a guy). As long as its pretty competitive and a known brand, i’ll gladly put aftermarket stuff in my toyota as long as it is of good quality. Rock auto has aisin and denso stuff for these trucks regularly. Been putting bosch brake pads on it since i got it, no issues there.

Pros: good quality, competitive price
Vehicle: Toyota Land Cruiser

OEM Hyundai Brake pads

I know this post is old but my 2019 Elantra SEL just hit 80k miles with no issues, and I bought it new. Normal oil changes, tires changed around 40-50k, and am doing a brake job myself this weekend (Most miles are highway miles, but I am still surprised how long the pads and rotors lasted).

Pros: long lasting pads, rotors
Cons: high beams don't work
Vehicle: Hyundai Elantra
Mileage: 128747 km

Bosch Brake 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.

Pros: standard, easy to work on

Bosch Brake pads

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.

Pros: saved money, easy DIY
Cons: budget parts may squeak
Vehicle: Audi TT

Bosch pads are fine. Trouble is when you buy from Amazon you don't know if you're getting Bosch or counterfeit Bosch and there's a real risk of counterfeits from Amazon.

Pros: fine quality
Cons: counterfeit risk

For my (owned 3 years, purchased used) 2014 Honda Crosstour I've always had to grind down the edges of the pad mounting plate tabs on Bosch brakes a couple of mm to get it to fit into the calipers. I have just received a new set, and while I still had to grind down the edges to get them to slide into the calipers, the top and bottom edges were MUCH shorter than the previous pads. So much so that when braking after reversing direction, the pads will shift in the calipers with a noticeable 'click' as the brake pads engage the disks to slow the car and are thus moved to the other end of the caliper. The overlap between the brake pad plate and the 'C' in the caliper where the tab meets the caliper is only 2mm or so. Definitely less than I am comfortable with.

Pros: always functioned perfectly
Cons: pads shift, noticeable click
Vehicle: Honda Crosstour
