Brake pads Bosch or OEM Volkswagen

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.

Just bought a set of Bosch F & R brake pads w hardware for $66 (including tax) on Amazon. For my 2007 Infiniti M35. Fit perfect. Good quality.

The CPO contract goes into effect once I replace the worn brakes (pads and rotors) which can happen anytime- Service Rep said I can do it anytime but preferably soon (end of summer)- the brakes are fine to drive on now though

Fourth I would make sure you are using high quality pads and rotors. Use name brands like raybestos, centric, Bosch, etc. Lower quality brands will have more issues.

Depending on the tier of pads Autozone does source from Bosch. The big benefit to Autozone is that you only pay once as they do a lifetime warranty and it covers wear. I have their most expensive pads on my car and have replaced them twice a year for 5 years now.

I've been running Bosch pads for about 12 years now never an issue on any make or model.

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.

I managed to install my brake pads inside out on the rear of my MkIV Jetta. Noisy.
