Brake pads Textar or DIXCEL

Textar Brake pads

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.

Pros: feel like stock brakes
Cons: stock pads gave up
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 165761 km

Rating 4.0

I have always ran DIXCEL Z on all my cars. Extremely quiet once you bed them in and has a temp range of 0-850°C with a friction coefficient of 0.67. They're just a bit dusty.

Pros: quiet, wide temp range
Cons: a bit dusty

Ultima oara am schimbat doar placutele cu textar semi-metalice. Iarasi super miltumit. Nu simt nici o diferenta fata de Otto-Zimmerman.

Pros: super miltumit
Cons: Nu simt nici o diferenta

Textar Brake pads

I got genuine discs from ML performance for much much less than dealer prices, coupled with textar pads made to the same spec as M4 pads (M4 pads are also a drop in upgrade, I believe textar is OE for M4 pads), noticed minimal difference in performance though.

Pros: much cheaper, same spec
Cons: minimal performance difference

I did change my F30 with Textar and it was plug n play. No need to go big if you don’t go on track days often imo.

Pros: easy installation, plug and play
Vehicle: BMW

Quality pads and rotors tend not to warp out in a couple hundred miles. If you bought Durlast junk from Autoroo then that's the reason. Stick with OE/OEM Quality like ATE rotors and Textar pads.

Pros: OE/OEM Quality
Cons: Durlast junk

I haven't done VW brakes in a while, but I usually use Textar pads on my BMW and Mini. They are OE supplier for most of the BMW brakes, but they do make a lot of dust.

Pros: OE supplier
Cons: make a lot of dust
Vehicle: MINI
