Brake pads Centric or WILWOOD

Centric Brake pads

I have 28k miles on my 2017 G2, the brake fluid was almost black. I flushed it all out, and I noticed some very minor air bubbles when we started initially pumping the brake fluid. I also switched over to new Centric pads and rotors. Much improved brake feel and firmness

Pros: improved brake feel, firmness
Cons: brake fluid black
Mileage: 28000 km

I've been running Centric for a while. Good price, not much dust, they work ok. Not much grab when very cold (ambient temp below 40), but they warm up pretty damn quick, so not a huge deal. Never heard a single squeak, so 10/10 for noise.

Pros: good price, little dust, quiet
Cons: poor cold grab

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.

Pros: zero complaints, almost zero dust
Mileage: 32186 km

my GLI did it slightly but it went away when I switched to Centric Ceramic pads. Stock Organic pads were terrible in just about every aspect. The Centrics fixed every issue.

Pros: fixed every issue
Cons: stock pads were terrible
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I went with the centric posi-quiets on my GLI. They are everything I hoped for. PS. the clips are a pain but I found a little deadblow hammer to the top of the pad and they popped right in.

Pros: everything hoped for
Cons: clips are a pain
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I have run Wilwoods on my Corrado for years with the usual rebuilding every two years. Even with ABS under full braking using the BP10 pads it would occasionally lock up fully and blow a cogged belt off the supercharger.

Pros: very powerful braking
Cons: requires frequent rebuilding

WILWOOD Brake pads

I don't know much about Stop-Tech, however, I have heard from a friend that used Wilwood that these perform best in non-Winter driving conditions. He said that over time they will not stand up as well as a Brembo set up. It might be worth noting what climate (Alaska vs California) that you spend most of your driving time in as well when factoring a BBK upgrade. I also noticed that you are quite new to this group so allow me to introduce you to the member who will derail all original posts into something else to the point where your thread may get locked up. See below. GoGo Golf R said: Ok let's try to agree on the following: 1) Upgrading the brakes is mostly justified for track driving purposes No, Personal preference. 2) Changing the brake pads will reduce dust for street driving Depends on your pad choice 3) Changing the brake pads, rotors and brake lines is pricy Subjective 4) The OEM brakes, while not totally ideal for every driving style, will suffice for average street drivers and some track drivers Depends on your driving style 5) Downshifting with correct rev-matching, will extend the duration and reduce wear on the brakes Yes because replacing your clutch is much cheaper than new pads :screwy:

Pros: perform best in non-winter
Cons: don't stand up as well over time
