Brake pads Textar or Hella Pagid

I always had good results with textar and Zimmerman.

I use all Textar disks and pads and they are excellent.

Pagid is decent, I used them on my Cayman and it's survived 20 Laps of the Nurburgring and a track day.

I fitted a Pagid discs and pads (fronts and rears) to my Octavia vRS a couple of months back and don't notice any difference from the previous OEM. Paid £230 just for the parts.

I'm running the cheapest coated rotors from rockauto and Pagid "OE" pads and I'm happy with it.

I use Pagid RSL29s on my M3, I don't bother switching pads after events. They work great on the street but I'm in Texas so it rarely gets below 45 degrees here. They squeal but the dust isn't too bad. I don't daily it but I wouldn't have an issue if I did. The squeal is annoying but really not too bothersome to me even though I drive 95% of the time with my windows down.

front brake pads (textar) for gti with performance pack, bolts, anti-squeal, grease; normally $70+

I got pagid and they are decent.

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.

I went through a set on my M4 in two days. Have Pagid RSL29 now and three very hard driving days in they show little if any wear
