Textar Brake pads

Rating 4.5

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.

Pros: great initial bite, great pedal feel
Cons: dust a lot
Vehicle: Audi S3

Textar Brake pads

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.

Pros: rear pads fine
Cons: anti-rattle decal melted, rattling
Mileage: 19312 km

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.

Cons: super dusty, squeal
