Brake pads WAGNER or OEM Mercedes

I’ve honestly never had a problem with Wagner. Just installed QuickStops on my wife’s Altima. They are quiet, and they bite just as hard as OEMs.

Mercedes has always had great brakes but until the 190E you didn't have many cheap upgrade options. I have E420 brakes on my 190E Sportline, and my god the stopping power is exceptional.

When I did my Civic, I went with Wagner Thermoquiets. But I'm not aggressive on the brakes. They're silent, and clean. They'll still cause ABS to engage if I hit the pedal hard.

I now use the Wagner pads the I can get through Advance. Last set went 60K and I just replaced them before the state inspection in October. Technically they would have passed but I just changed them out just so I didn't have to worry about it for a while. For $60 for an axle set, I can't complain. Cost way less, last much longer, easy on the rotors and don't dust the hell out of the wheels. They take a bit more brake pedal pressure but that is OK because it actually helps on brake modulation.

I just put a set of Wagner on the rear of my E60. Same pad specs and a perfect fit. The car stops dead fast.

I personally use Wagner Thermoquiet for my BMW because of low dust and noise-free. They are great pads.

According to Rockauto, Wagner ThermoQuiet parts are available for that car. I would just get those - I've used them on everything I've owned for the past 10 years or so with good results.

I am very pleased with the brake system end results. ALL new rubber in the whole system: New calipers, new wheel cylinders, new master cylinder and all four new rubber hoses.

Fantastic engine & brakes. I think they're very good looking cars, too. Mine bit me hard though, and I'd never own another.

I haven't had much luck with durability on Wagner brake pads on any of my cars, though I've not used these on the Passat.
