Rating 4.0

I can recommend TRW „DTEC“ pads. Almost no brake dust, no squeaking, good bite on the breaks. The only trade of is that when it’s really cold or raining and you drive on the highway for a long time, the first half of a second when you break again the performance is weak. That’s what I experienced. I never had this with the original pads in winter time or heavy rain.

Pros: no dust, no squeaking
Cons: weak performance in cold/rain
Part number: DTEC

I went with TRW Ultra ceramic pads and Zimmerman rotors from FCP Euro for my S90. It was a big upgrade from OEM in my experience.

Pros: big upgrade from OEM

TRW Brake pads

I got the ceramic TRW pads from FCP euro. You can find them from ShopDAP, VW dealership, etc. There’s multiple OE suppliers that all work great: TRW, Pagid, Textar. You can also go for the semi metallic equivalent if you want a little extra bite. I believe they all come with the wear sensor, you can simply cut it off at the base and pull out the wire. I’ve done this twice now, no problems. I suppose you could use the advance auto ones if you already have them, but just know they probably won’t give you as much bite as the stock pads, and may end up causing some warping over time since they aren’t designed for the heat temps.

Pros: easy sensor removal, good performance
Cons: less bite than stock, potential warping
Vehicle: Volkswagen

Did the brakes myself on my elantra and spent about $60. Brakes are super easy and massively overcharged by dealers.

Pros: super easy, inexpensive
Cons: dealers overcharge
Vehicle: Hyundai Elantra

TRW Brake pads

They look about par for an economy, aftermarket brake pad. I use TRW on my beaters pretty often. Mine often don't come wrapped in anything other than a rubber band. They aren't OEM quality, but for 20 bucks a pair...I'll deal with it and have never had an issue.

Pros: inexpensive, usable
Cons: not OEM quality

OEM Hyundai Brake pads

Had to take out a loan fr 3k for brake pads and labour to put them on. From a huge well known dealership. Local mechanic did the same thing for around 300 dollars a year later when they failed.

Pros: cheaper local mechanic
Cons: expensive dealership service
Vehicle: Hyundai
