Brake pads Textar or OEM Volkswagen

I beat the hell out of some OE Textars in 110+ heat at Buttonwillow and they held up admirably. You don’t need anything more for the street.

I always had good results with textar and Zimmerman.

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

You'll find most common needs (brake pads, etc) in stock everywhere, and rarer parts will be easy to find in a day or two.

Mk6 2.5L A/T. They just work. Brakes last forever, no engine or transmission issues, none of the weird mk4 body problems with windows or wipers, just great cars.

The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.

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.

I had to replace my brakes early as well, and I was also past the extended warranty campaign.

Textar is hot garbage these days unfortunately

The OEM brakes are a little meh as I’ve got the same noise issue as a lot of other Atlas owners have experienced.
