Brake pads Textar or Raybestos

Have had very good experiences with Raybestos Element 3. Excellent price as well.

I really liked my Raybestos pads

I did the raybestos element 3 pads and coated rotors on my 2018 rogue and my wife’s Ford Escape. Very pleased and affordable on Rockauto

I bought raybestos ceramic pads and di it myself for $35. The new pads are quiet and have 30,000 miles on them with no significant wear and about 80% less dust.

I've bought Honda brakes for my 09 Accord several years ago, perfect fit and function. go with name brand, doesn't have to be top tier but OEM is a good starting point. I've just always gone with Raybestos for all my cars

Some prices I don't know how they pull off. I got both front rotors for my Armada for $70. Added Raybestos pad set for $13. I've put around 6000 miles on my new brakes and haven't had a moment of noise or issue.

I did change my F30 with Textar and it was plug n play. No need to go big if you don’t go on track days often imo.

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 replaced the pads and rotors on my Jetta this past spring. I put on Raybestos Element3 pads and coated rotors, and I've put maybe 6k-ish miles on them since then. Everything was fine for a while, but lately a squeal started to slowly develop until now it's every time I use the brakes. It sounds exactly the wear indicator noise I'm used to hearing when pads are low.

I replaced my brake pads with Textar pads and they are squealing so bad that it is embarrassing to drive it around town. If you are standing outside the car it hurts your ears. I had Porsche sand down the edges of the discs and this has helped a little but not to the point I am satisfied. Although the pads are only a month old I have decided to replace them with another brand.
