Brake pads Textar or R1 Concepts

Textar Brake pads

I just daily my 17 GTI. The stock pads and rotors finally gave up at 103k miles. I was perfectly happy with the oem brakes, but not spending $700. I went Zimmerman and Texstar pads. So far no complaints, they feel like the stock brakes when they were new.

Pros: feel like stock brakes
Cons: stock pads gave up
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 165761 km

R1 Concepts Brake pads

I ran R1 concepts for my tc2 for over four years. An improvement over stock’s brake fading prone design. Not badly priced too

Pros: improvement over stock
Cons: brake fading prone

Textar Brake pads

Ultima oara am schimbat doar placutele cu textar semi-metalice. Iarasi super miltumit. Nu simt nici o diferenta fata de Otto-Zimmerman.

Pros: super miltumit
Cons: Nu simt nici o diferenta

Textar Brake pads

I got genuine discs from ML performance for much much less than dealer prices, coupled with textar pads made to the same spec as M4 pads (M4 pads are also a drop in upgrade, I believe textar is OE for M4 pads), noticed minimal difference in performance though.

Pros: much cheaper, same spec
Cons: minimal performance difference

R1 Concepts Track Pads. I used them for my daily and occasional track. I am too lazy to swap the pads. Hella dusty tho.
