Brake pads Textar or OEM Hyundai

rear disc axle with prop valve, new textar pads

I used OEM replacement Textar pads. At some later date I may go with something a bit more grippy, but for DD duties the Textar/Porsche pads seem to be more than up to the task.

I recommend Textar, great bite and no need of pre-heating. They also don't cause too much wear on the discs and on the other hand don't generate much brake dust.

Textar is an OEM supplier, and they're not that expensive - run with those. Same amount of dust as stock, but no noise, and stock like braking characteristics.

Every Equus comes standard with "At Your Service," Hyundai's revolutionary approach to the luxury ownership experience that provides complimentary valet service and covers all maintenance needs for 5 years or 60,000 miles. With "At Your Service," Hyundai Equus owners enjoy no-charge maintenance, including complimentary oil and filter changes, brake pads and rotors, wiper blades, and battery.

Textar is the OEM brand..which of course you can get from 1stVWparts.

has anyone driven the new Elantra? I mean, I was IMPRESSED. I daily drive a 12 year old car, but the features, comfort, and ride blew me away. The steering's light, the brakes are touchy, but what a terrific commuter car. It's amazing to see how good these economy cars are, that the Elantra should place last. I fell in love with the Elantra the 4 days I got to drive it.

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

Had to take out a loan fr 3k for brake pads and labour to put them on. From a huge well known dealership. Local mechanic did the same thing for around 300 dollars a year later when they failed.

Our 2003 Santa Fe has 60,000 miles on it. Just had the accessory belt and tensioner replaced... I swear I had the brakes nearly to the floor every time I wanted to stop. It just felt like I had to keep pushing harder. It's like pushing into a sponge.
