Brake pads OEM Honda or OEM Volkswagen

I've got 160k kms on my front brake pads on my 2012 tdi.

Rear pads I've changed 3 times.

It's got exceptional engine braking.

I love all the things that set it apart from the standard GTI - suspension changes, VAQ improvements, power and brakes.

Fék csere nem nagyon kell, pedig ez más EVhez képest használja is.

Rev matching is better for the brake pads... and it sounds cool lol. Same reason I rev match downshift in my Honda Civic.

Put in some aftermarket front brake pads too.

I have had the Tiguan SEL Turbo for a few weeks now. I was reversing out of a parking spot and the brakes locked up thinking something was behind me. Not a soft brake, I thought I backed up into someone. No car or person there? Did it twice and never again.

Took my 2019 Golf R to the track with stock pads and rotors. The brakes started smelling really bad after 20 minutes of track time, and squealing a bit. Didn’t lose braking power significantly, but this is what they look like afterwards.

Same on my wife's '22 Atlas. So much so that I think it activates the parking sensors on every occasion when we slowly come to a stop, like in a red light and nothing is around the vehicle to make the parking sensors activate. It's just at 37k miles but I'm considering upgrading the pads and rotors!

I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.

The OEM brakes are a little meh as I’ve got the same noise issue as a lot of other Atlas owners have experienced.
