Brake pads Hella Pagid or Bosch

Bosch Brake pads

After replacing the brakes with Bosch and tires with Michelin CrossClimate, over 30k miles later and brakes have at least another 50-60k life left, and tires too, since they have 80k miles warranty.

Pros: long life
Vehicle: Mercedes

Bosch Brake pads

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.

Cons: needs frequent replacement

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.

Cons: squealing, poor quality

Bosch Brake pads

I had this problem after working on a friend's Infiniti FX35 and also using Bosch ceramic brake pads.

The problem for me was that Bosch pads have a different inside and outside pad for the rears for that vehicle. I've used Bosch pads before and never encountered this.

The pads were not marked and nothing on the box indicated there were different sides so I didn't notice. But they have protruding nubs on the backing that cause the caliper to not sit properly and increase their thickness, causing constant drag on the rotors.

Pros: pads cause constant drag
Cons: pads not marked
Vehicle: Infiniti
