well done vw for letting me get 77k out of the factory pads/rotors
I’ve ordered the Raybestos Element3 for multiple vehicles and been happy with them
The Element 3's have treated me very well on multiple vehicles now.
Got the OEM brakes installed not too long ago and they’re definitely worth the install. Two year warranty with them at VW.
I'm in WNY and run the Raybestos fully coated rotors and ceramic pads on my truck and wife's SUV. No issues so far after 3 years.
I would raybestos element 3 and akebono pads on my Lexus rx300. No complaints.
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.
I have the Raybestos EHT on my ol' Camry and Avalon. They lack longevity and will pulse toward then end of their usable life. The quality control has slipped a little of the years. You might have to file fit them(as with any pad). I'd say that they won't tolerate a hack installer. My EHT stopped better than my Akeboner proacts.
OEM VW brakes are crap.
I got Raybestos pads+rotors back in December… 4mo later and already vibrating when braking so prob warped the rotors, and the pads already squeal at low speed braking.
