I'm running bosch quietcast ones on mine. They were on rock auto for like $70 shipped for both front and rear. They are ceramic
Decided to pull the wheel, and found a TRW stamp on the caliper, so it's been ID'd. Anyone need a set of Bosch BC1456 pads for the Bosch calipers?
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.
So far I've spent 400€ on brakes, 100€ new battery, 1200€ on axles and other components related to them and maybe 150€ on oil and filters (2 oil changes so far)
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.
New brakes. All OEM replacements, however the Bosch pads are a bit squeaky
The brakes - overheated on several occassions coming down mountain passes. This happened on 2 sets of brakes so it seems like a design issue.
