Brake pads Textar or Bendix

The textar pads are great for normal and slightly aggressive driving. The initial bite is great compared to ceramic pads, although they do dust a lot. To me the trade off is worth it for great pedal feel.

I was tired of the squeals and replaced the front brake pads with Bendix parts for about $90. Fits perfect.

I've been using Bendix pads for 2 decades and they always last a long ass time

I always use Textar - a boggo (albeit OE) brand, and never, ever have a problem.

I just daily my 17 GTI. The stock pads and rotors finally gave up at 103k miles. I was perfectly happy with the oem brakes, but not spending $700. I went Zimmerman and Texstar pads. So far no complaints, they feel like the stock brakes when they were new.

I did Bendix on my ‘21 GT and same on my ‘22 GT1. RockAuto is where I got them. Really can’t tell a difference between OE and Bendix. And no more shudder.

Around 12k miles, the anti-rattle decal on the left front Textar pads melted and which made them rattle in the caliper over bumps. FCP Euro exchanged them for Pagid pads and no problem since. Rear Textar pads have been fine.

My last foray with Bendix sucked big time.

Well, I just put Textar pads on and am looking to swap them because they\u2019re super dusty and squeal with light pressure, so I too would love some recommendations.

Bendix din kinabit sa akin na brake pads nung nagpaPMS ako last year.

Maingay kapag galing sa matagal na park pero tumatahimik din pag matagal ng tumatakbo.

Binalik ko sa shop. Nilinis nila ulit preno. Tumahimik naman pero after few weeks maingay na naman.
