Brake pads Brembo or Bosch

Brembo Brake pads

Pads and tyres affect braking the most, the actual discs themselves matter much less. Just get some higher tier metallic brake pads and you should be good. I would go for Brembo Extra pads personally.

Pros: good braking performance

Brembo Brake pads

As for your question, I have Brembo pads on my M6 and 650i and brake dust is minimal in comparison to these. I still scrub my wheels once a month but it\u2019s a way better interval compared to the old ones.

Pros: minimal brake dust
Vehicle: BMW

At 50k, my rotors and stock pads were shot. The brembo pads are very aggressive and eat the rotor quickly. If you are racing or spirited stopping often, they will go quick. I went with power stop replacements and I am very happy. No more rotor click and much less brake dust. I daily drive mine, so most of the miles are pretty easy. 2020 spwb charger.

Pros: less brake dust, happy with replacement
Cons: rotors wear quickly, aggressive pads
Mileage: 50000 km

Brembo Brake pads

My Polestar 2 has 3 levels of OPD which is awesome. My brakes are still fairly new and I have 34800 miles on it as of today. I very rarely use the friction brakes unless I take it to the track and thats when the Brembos brakes all around really work.

Pros: brakes are fairly new
Mileage: 34800 km

Bosch Brake pads

I replaced front pads and rotors on my Tiguan, and afterwards, when going between D <-> R and applying the brakes, the first brake application causes a "clack" on both sides at the front. Pads are Bosch 1633A. spring clips (integral to pads) are seated properly. Pads and rotors were bedded properly. Wheel lug bolts torqued properly. I have the official instructions from VW. I've probably done ~20 brake jobs in my life, mostly Volvos (over half of those were sliding-caliper designs like the Tiguan's). What I tried (with no success): searching and searching and searching forums, only found 2 other people with a similar issue on FCP's Brake Replacement YouTube video measured and compared all latereral dimensions of the pad's plate between new and old, same dimensions re-installed the pads all bolts are torqued properly (caliper carrier 200 Nm; caliper pin bolts 35 Nm) found a Tech Bulletin from VW that mentions there are inner- and outer-specific orientation for the pads. This appears to apply only to the Genuine (labeled TRW) pads, as all 3 Bosch pads are identical in every way that I can discern bought a set of Genuine VW pads (labeled VW), ensured the correct orientation of pads according to the Tech Bulletin, and they still clack. pad backing plate dimensions are the same as the Bosch. Ack! More money! bought a set of genuine caliper carriers (with the thinking that perhaps when I wire-wheeled the old caliper carriers to remove rust, it took off too much material). I didn't install them because I measured all the dimensions that interface with the pads and the new are identical to the old.

Pros: pads and rotors bedded properly, bolts torqued properly
Cons: causes a "clack" on both sides
Part number: 1633A

I'm running a Trueno, which has the factory Brembos. With the stock pads at a track with a decent amount of braking demand (at which I've had more severe brake issues in several other cars), I get about half way into a session before they start to fade... not bad, but enough to notice reduced performance (firm pedal, just longer braking zones). There's no doubt that running an actual track pad that's meant for the heat will completely resolve the issue.

Cons: brake fade, reduced performance

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.

Cons: scartaie la franare
