Brake pads Textar or Project Mu

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.

When I replaced the front pads and rotors, I went with the same OEM rotors from Brembo but upgraded to Project Mu Type NS-C pads. I have not yet swapped rears but I can see that there is significantly less dust with Project Mu pads and no squeal. Stopping power is great and I havent had issues.

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 have project Mu pads and rotors, front and back on my 33 GTR. They’re fantastic products. But be warned, they’re gonna squeak. Sometimes badly. Having said that, it’s *because they’re good* that they squeak. They’re pretty much racing brakes, and if you’re not hearing them up high enough, they’re gonna squeak. So be prepared for that.

I got PMu Street Comp pads and rotors on mine, about a couple weeks ago. They are solid, definitely highly recommend the brand.

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.

My factory textar pads would do this after a rain, or whenever it was humid out after about 50000 miles. I replaced them with some hawk hps pads and zimmerman rotors, no more squeak now! Although I am not in love with the Hawk HPS pads, a lot of people recommend them, and while I do agree they bite pretty good when they've got some heat in them, the cold bite is actually pretty bad for a "street" pad.

so much dust with textar pads on Zimmerman rotors.  3 weeks later my alloys are black.
