Brake pads TRW or OEM Hyundai

TRW Brake pads

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.

Pros: no problems
Cons: time sinks, overtorqued/rusted lug nuts

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.

Pros: perfect fit, brake smoother
Cons: dust reduced by half
Part number: TPC1633

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.

Pros: initial bite is improved
Mileage: 10 km

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.

Pros: awesome braking, back to normal
Vehicle: Volkswagen

I've been using stock pads on the GTI; TRW and Ate brands from the parts counter at my dealer. That was not a pre-planned choice but one I made after being completely surprised at the track performance of the pads. Yeah, they're soft, but they're remarkably consistent as long as I am too. They come back quickly from being overheated if I do miss a mark.

Pros: consistent performance, quick recovery
Cons: pads are soft
Vehicle: Volkswagen

has anyone driven the new Elantra? I mean, I was IMPRESSED. I daily drive a 12 year old car, but the features, comfort, and ride blew me away. The steering's light, the brakes are touchy, but what a terrific commuter car. It's amazing to see how good these economy cars are, that the Elantra should place last. I fell in love with the Elantra the 4 days I got to drive it.

Pros: features, comfort, terrific commuter
Cons: steering light, brakes touchy
Vehicle: Hyundai Elantra

Changed the front brake disc and pads (TRW brand) on my car (Opel/Vauxhall Astra J 2016) and noticed my car started to smell heavily burnt rubber after heavy braking when the car stops. I understood that brakes does this in the beginning but now it has gone s month and probably around 150km (100miles) and I also have made some emergency brakes from high speed to speed up this process. So two weeks ago I removed everything and really deep cleaned the caliper and checked the pads. From smelling the pads it seems like it is the glue between the brake pad and the anti squeak plate that cause the smell (?) I also checked the temperature of the brake disc after normal usage and they are all around the same temperature, so I doubt it is a frozen caliper. (Around 70c 155f) but still they smell, maybe a bit less.

Pros: easy installation
Cons: burnt rubber smell
Vehicle: Opel Astra J
Mileage: 150 km

Our 2003 Santa Fe has 60,000 miles on it. Just had the accessory belt and tensioner replaced... I swear I had the brakes nearly to the floor every time I wanted to stop. It just felt like I had to keep pushing harder. It's like pushing into a sponge.

Cons: spongy brake feel
Mileage: 96560 km
