Brake pads WAGNER or Project Mu

At 75K went with OEM rotors in the rear and some Wagner QS ZD1108 ceramic pads. Then went with some Brembo 09.C306.11 rotors in the front with EBC Reds ceramic pads. I don’t track. Stopping power is about the same. I didn’t notice a huge difference. What I did notice, much quieter stopping and NO MORE BROWN BRAKE DUST. Yes, still get brake dust but not nearly as much. And when it collects, it’s more of a light white dust. Easy to clean. Super happy with the change. Even in the winter, stopping power is good.

Depends what you're after. If just street with some spirited driving, smething like pmu hc+ or ns400 works. I do track work and used to run hc800s, but got hc+ thinking they are the same. Only 600c rated instead. But, good cold performance, and extra good performance hot. So, they don't wear out super quickly while daily driving. Got quite a lot of track days and driving out of my original hc800s with t3 rotors. But, they are harder to find. Need to get the shape from pmus website, and then find somebody that stocks them. Rhd japan may do

I really liked Project Mu Club Racers as a "streetable-ish" track pad. They were fairly tolerable on the street as long as they were bedded in. They occasionally squeal when coming to a stop once below 15mph.

Wagner thermoquiet here. Works perfectly.

I’ve used Wagner thermoquiet pads and the cheapest wholesale close out rotor with good results.

Bosch and Wagner rotors and ceramic pads are my preferred brands. I put new Wagner front brake pads on the Frontier 5 1/2 years ago and they still have about 3mm left.

Higher-temp and higher-mu pads (Project Mu HC+R3) + braided brake lines + DOT 4 fluid for me. Slotted fronts, blank rears.

I used closesale WAGNER OEX906A (Premium) OEX and closesale AUTO EXTRA AX31314. they actually works amazing, especially auto extra with "P" is semi-coated with a little bit more price, I have very good experience with them and actually recommends it if you want to be cheap

I found Project Mu Club Racers to be decently streetable for a track pad. They do squeal a bit at less than 25 but are tolerable as long as they’re bedded in and you’re giving a decent amount of threshold pressure.

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.
