Brake pads Textar or ENDLESS

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 4.5

Endless mx72 are really good as a no noise hybrid pad. I recently switched my fronts to endless me20 for a more task focused pad and they have great feel and no fade. Much noisier but that's to be expected.

Pros: great feel, no fade
Cons: noisy
Vehicle: MAN

I get mine for my AZ swift sport from RHD Japan. 3 track days and no fade etc. no squealing. A bit of dust. Endless CCrG. If you’re not tracking it then get Endless MX72+ Or Project Mu HC+ Locally you may be able to get EBC yellow stuff.

Pros: no fade, no squealing
Cons: a bit of dust

Textar Brake pads

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'm running Endless MX87s on my WRX. They work really well for autocross and are streetable. Little noisy when cold, but never had any issues driving to and from events, even in traffic

Pros: works well for autocross, streetable
Cons: noisy when cold
Vehicle: Subaru

Textar Brake pads

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

Textar Brake pads

I replaced my brake pads with Textar pads and they are squealing so bad that it is embarrassing to drive it around town. If you are standing outside the car it hurts your ears. I had Porsche sand down the edges of the discs and this has helped a little but not to the point I am satisfied. Although the pads are only a month old I have decided to replace them with another brand.

Cons: excessive squealing, unsatisfactory
