Brake pads Textar or Hella Pagid

What brake pad does work but they dust a lot seems to be Textar. Not many comebacks except that the clients complain that they are dirty.

I put in Hella pagid. They are fantastic

I have Pagid RSL29 pads and ATE 200 fluid on Hankook RS4s -- I don't worry too much about brake fade unless it's peak Texas summer heat, in which case I'm managing engine and tire temperature with cool down laps anyway.

I had Pagid RS29s on my street driven but not daily driven car. They were great on track but holy shit the amount of noise they made on the street was almost agonizing. And the dust…. But for the feel they have on the track I would definitely buy again.

Keep it stock. VW went to lotsa trouble to pick out the pads for your car. FWIW I still uses OEM Textar pads on my E46 M3 vert.

I replaced mine with Textar epad ceramic pads and Zimmerman rotors and I have been satisfied so far. There is slightly less bite with a ceramic pad vs OEM but also has much less dust.

I am happy with Textar pads, no noticeable squealing, but they do make the wheels dusty fairly quickly. Previous pads were Pagid and they were just horrible, squealing, no brakes when cold, etc.

I got Zimmerman rotors and Textar brake pads for my 2013 550i with the M package. Everything is been working great for the last 6 months.

I have good experience with Textar pads, both epad and normal ones. Currently I have ATE rotors, but they had to be resurfaced because of warping, so no recommendation from me

Textar pads are OEM I believe. My advice is just avoid brembo pads. Mine create so much dust my wheels look awful a day after being cleaned
