Brake pads TRW or Centric

I buy a lot of denso parts, gates or continental generally for belts and such. Centric for brakes.

IMO do not put anything OEM on the car as a replacement. Find something with a better pad/rotor combo that doesn't leave deposits Ilike Centric stuff a lot with the Ceramic pads. Good combo

Centric ceramic brake pads

I switched to Centric PosiQuiet Ceramic Pads and not only they brake better, but produces little to no dust.

Job got done in about three evenings Biggest time sinks were figuring out how to use the caliper piston compression tool and getting my overtorqued/rusted lug nuts off. Drove up from Maryland to NYC with no problems so I think I did the job right.

I have 28k miles on my 2017 G2, the brake fluid was almost black. I flushed it all out, and I noticed some very minor air bubbles when we started initially pumping the brake fluid. I also switched over to new Centric pads and rotors. Much improved brake feel and firmness

I've been running Centric for a while. Good price, not much dust, they work ok. Not much grab when very cold (ambient temp below 40), but they warm up pretty damn quick, so not a huge deal. Never heard a single squeak, so 10/10 for noise.

Centric high carbon blank rotors and Centric PosiQuiet ceramic pads. Great daily driver combo.

Last time I did brakes on my Tiguan I did Centric high-carbon, coated rotors and Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic pads that I got off of Rockauto. They have 20k miles on them now and I have zero complaints. They just do what they are supposed to, and have almost zero dust. Perfect in my book.

Just did the rear brakes on my wife’s subaru, the dealership was back ordered on the OEM pads and had centric ceramics.
