Brake pads Centric or OEM Volkswagen

I upgraded. Made brakes way less twitchy and much more progressive with substantially less brake fade. I highly recommend it.

I've had my black/black 2020 R-Line for 2 months and ~3.5k miles now. I work in sales, and it's great for visiting and entertaining customers. I'd give it a 8/10. Pros: LED headlights are excellent Comfortable ride when cruising on the expressway Comfortably fits four 6-ft plus adults Nice sporty lines for such a large car MPG Lane assist and ACC Huge trunk (for beer league hockey on weekends) Remote start (this'll be huge in the winter) Well appointed for the price Cons: Brakes... no linear feel. It's nothing nothing nothing, then STOP Engine is under powered for a car this size Automatic transmission wants to move too fast for my liking when you release the brake at a stop No visual TPMS (one of my biggest VW gripes. I want to know the actual pressure) Seats don't offer much bolstering, and no lumbar support in the passenger seat Wish the steering wheel telescoped out more. I'm 6'3\" and for ideal leg-room, my arms are nearly at full lock. R-line wheels... they just aren't appealing to me

Centric high carbon blank rotors and Centric PosiQuiet ceramic pads. Great daily driver combo.

I have had mine activate the brakes on me, I was at a light behind a car that wasn't moving once it changed to green. I started to just engage first gear and creep up a bit to let them know the light changed and apparently got too close so my car slams the brakes and makes me feel like it's my first time driving a manual.

Did the same as above. Put GLI brakes on my GLS 1.8t. More than enough stopping power. Cheapest way to get good braking.

Last time I did brakes on my Tiguan I did Centric high-carbon, coated rotors and Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic pads that I got off of Rockauto. They have 20k miles on them now and I have zero complaints. They just do what they are supposed to, and have almost zero dust. Perfect in my book.

My 06 GTI had the rears wear out at 70k. The fronts lasted until 135k. I was completely dumbfounded that the rears wore faster and the fronts lasted that long. I replaced everything with OEM parts and am experiencing similar wear on the new stuff.

I've done the swap on my Tiguan for the front. There is no performance benefit, they are identical brakes with the exception of the R emblem plate and the pads are dustier on the R (same size but different brand).

Back from a 5 day trip and my car was parked with the park brake on. ( Auto brake) The result was the pads stuck ( rusted?) onto the discs. I had to speed up to "break" them loose. Pathetic quality!

only issue I have is the brakes are undersized for this car 10,000km replace under warranty then again at 20,000km.
