Brake pads Hella Pagid or Zimmermann

Pagid every time. Never had a problem with any car I’ve put them on.

Back in December, I had discs and pads replaced all around on my 2018 Octy vRS. My local garage was happy to fit supplied parts. With the discount Halfords were running at the time, I've had Pagid discs/pads fitted. No rattles, no squeaks, and they stop me when they need to.

I remember somebody talking about swapping out the Brembo for Zimmermann brakes and he was much happier with those.

Just bought Pagid discs and pads for my Suzuki Swift. mix of main and rural roads in NW England, plenty of wet, mud and hills.

Yes, decent enough. Just changed discs and pads on my Passat and no issues.

The pad material composite can be upgraded to extend mileage adding replacement parts like Bosch or Zimmermann (OEM suppliers) that are the same or better than stock.

I currently have all four corners replaced with Hella Pagid on a 2018 Golf. I’ve had them on for 2.5 years and 60,000km. Love them just as good as OEM and I believe there are also a OEM supplier to VW depending where they’re sold.

I did them 6 months ago. I used import direct rotors from o Reilly. and some brake pads from NAPA I think I used Zimmerman brake pads. I have 0 problems with them and only need to do my rears in a couple of months according to the wear sensor.

You'll need decent pads, and ones that can handle a car with a bit of weight behind it, think Pagid RSL29, Winmax W5 or Mintex 1166 if you're not going mad. You'll want to flush out your brake fluid and replace it with something that will take the heat as the tiny brakes on a 325i WILL overheat, its not a matter of if, its a matter of when, good fluid will stop you from boiling it and crashing!

I switched to the supposedly equivalent Zimmerman blanks and textar pads and I didn’t like the performance so I switched back to the stock brakes.
