Brake pads OEM Volkswagen or Duralast

Mk6 2.5L A/T. They just work. Brakes last forever, no engine or transmission issues, none of the weird mk4 body problems with windows or wipers, just great cars.

I use Dynamic Friction low-metallic 5000 pads, bite better but dust more than OEM, been working well thus far.

I went with Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads and they've been great!

Over the weekend I finally got the brakes to cooperate, so it's just about time to get a few test runs in.

I did our Atlas rear brakes without a scan tool.

I have done the all the brakes on our 19 Atlas myself. Like previously stated fronts are straight forward and easy.

From what I heard they changed the pads on the 2020 because people complained the 2019 pads were noisy.

i had my brake pads and rotors replaced all round a month or two ago. mechanics quoted me $1000 but had it done by a family friend for around $700.

I have 4,800 miles on a 2023 MK8 and my brake pads are sticking to the rotors.

I’m not a mechanic by any means (I do try to work on my car myself for what I can fix and know how to do) but I’m gonna throw my own car under the bus and say VW. Why tf do I need specialized tools, and why do barely any after market parts fit my car?
