bosch quiet cast pads and rotors. changed my life
I purchased some DBA Sport Rotors from Australia which came with, I'm pretty sure Bosch brake pads which were brilliant!
Am avut si eu la un golf 4 tot bosch.. scartaiau la viteza redusa.. cand eram aproape sa opresc.
Le-am schimbat si am pus ate. Din prima zi au mers brici fara nici un scartait.
I ended up picking up Bosch ceramics for the rear + new aftermarket rotors since the stock ones had 1 mm left to min thickness. Have tried not to brake too hard since install couple days ago, but had to a couple times anyway (toronto highway traffic) braking felt just as good as the stock pads.
Ceramic. No dust ????
Just take a little bit longer to warm up to bite... ????
I just installed the BC1846 Bosch pads on the rear of my CX5 - work great soo far.
I've used Bosch pads and rotors and they were fantastic. Fixed the brake squeal in my cx-5.
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.
Volvo uses a softer compound. I think they call them comfort brakes or something? I would always get about 40k miles out of my pads on my XC90. I switched to an Acura MDX and got 140k miles out of my pads. Volvo brakes work really well but I’ve never had a set last really long time.
I have had a different experience; total junk. 15K miles and they squeal like nobody's business.
