Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM Volkswagen

For a street only car, powerstop pads are what I ran for the longest time; very little to no brake dust, and I feel they bite better than auto part store pads; if you want to head into track-ready/entry pads, then the rest of the comments here are a decent guide at what to look for

Since we had good luck with OE, went OE for replacements. So far, a few hundred miles in, all good.

I have powerstop on all four corners with no issues.

I used power stop for years they're great.

Power stops are fine. I've used them. My rears are still good at 240k miles.

I have an 09 G37x Coupe and we have the same brakes, 320/307 rotors. I just installed the POWERSTOP Z26 brake kit and it's very good. You'll need more brake part lube than they give you but other than that the kit is really nice and definitely worth it, carbon ceramic pads last way longer.

I have that kit on my 2013 A6 and have a set waiting to go on my 2011 S5. I would highly recommend, great quality, have used them on many different vehicles, best bang for buck.

I have these on my lifted jeep on 35s (the tow and haul model) and they the best stock size brakes you can get without having to get a big brake kit from mopar.

It’s very easy to replace the pads diy in Brembos. I used the powerstop z26 as well. But the fronts squealed something awful (started at like 10k) on low mph slow deceleration and the brake dust on the stock pads suck.

The brakes started squealing and grinding (like they needed to be replaced) it took me about 2 months to finally get an answer at the dealership. They determined it was a defective brake pad - and the parts are out of stock until Nov. They replaced them with after market parts until the replacement parts came in. They also started making the same noise. It's now December and i still don't have the parts and my car makes noise every day! it's so annoying.. This is my first and last VW that I will ever own.
