Brake pads Bosch or OEM Volkswagen

I also have those Bosch pads on my Tundra and they are really good, quiet, low dust, excellent overall.

I think the Bosch pads work fine.

Last year a shop replaced the rear brake pads and disks but since then handbrake never was like before. They kept telling me it will get better which I believed at the time but it never did. Last month I've passed inspection and they told me that the rear left handbrake was almost out of spec and I'd need to check it out although it passed.

So a month later I've bought a Bosch kit, sliders, pads, grease, toolkit etc and replaced the 1 year old ferodo pads. Now handbrake is like it should be and I'm happy with it but take a look at the old pads...

Both inner side alignment pins (caliper side) are bent.

Got the OEM brakes installed not too long ago and they’re definitely worth the install. Two year warranty with them at VW.

Bosch quiet cast or Zimmerman. Also Bosch blue pads, ceramic if you want clean and semi metallic if you want to stop

I did this set up for my 2014 RDX Tech. I went with Bosch and I have to replace my front pads again and will be changing them again with Bosch.

If the price is right - yeah, but there are better alternatives than BOSCH, for a little bit more. I installed brakes front and rear, new pads, rotors etc ~9-10months ago, they squealed like a pig for 5-6 of them, and I drive quite a lot, not just short commutes to the shop and back. They have been properly broken into, did everything to spec, bought genuine parts, not a knockoff, squealing like mofo. At the same time, I did brakes on my dads car, diferent brand, and price was ~1 euro more. 0 squealing from day 1, even during break in period. Before they were really good, now - not so much. They work, and they will do the job fine, however there are better brands, that offer value for the price you pay. I avoid batteries made by them, because they like to go bad after warranty.

OEM VW brakes are crap.

Am cumparat pentru un Audi A3 8P placute si discuri noi pe față de la Bosch. Placutele sunt acelasi model utilizat si inainte de schimb. Nu am mers prea mult cu masina de cand le-am schimbat dar am depasit 500-600 km. Acum ca s-a facut cald dupa 10-15 minute de mers in oras- cand se incing incep sa scartaie consistent la orice tip de franare- lenta, brusca. Au inceput sa fara asa din primele zile de utilizare. Nu e vorba de vreo depunere pe suprafete. Oricum problema apare dupa ce sunt folosite in oras 10-15 minute.
