Brake pads TRW or JURID

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 the TRW TPC1633 ceramic pads installed, perfect fit (OEM) and brake as good as stock...actually smoother. Dust is reduced maybe by half.

I'm running the JURID pads, too, and I'm at a little over 13k miles. No issues whatsoever...

TRW Ceramic pads, look identical to OEM, since TRW makes the OEM pads. Feel same as stock, way down on dust.

Finally got around to getting my brakes installed. I've barely put 10 miles on the setup, and the improvement is quite noticeable. Initial bite is improved, and much less effort is required for the same braking force.

In an effort of "lets start over with the basics" we changed the front pads with new TRW OEM ones and the thing was back to normal awesome braking. This Van should stop with alacrity and ABS should kick in when you really step on the brakes.

I can tell the pads are fairly recent and are Jurid brand so I know they've been replaced recently.

You will need good 9.4" vented rotors & good pads like Ferodo, Pagid or Jurid.

When I picked her up, I was told my front and rear brake pads are all down 1mm already. At this rate I’ll likely need to replace them around 15k. I thought this made sense for the front pads since they’re the JURID high performance ones, but the rears being worn that much seemed strange. I don’t drive fast/brake hard/etc, never track, or do anything otherwise that should wear my brakes prematurely.

Jurid = stock BMW E36M3 pads, pretty good on the street, not to good on the track. DOn't know if there are different types
