Brake pads WAGNER or WILWOOD

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.

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 used the Wagner QuickStop. They were affordable and have been fine so far

i use wagner at my shop. never had an issue in the 6 years i've been using them.

Second upgrade to Wagner Thermo quiet brake pads and rotors.

I just changed my rear breaks and rotors on my 2018 limited and will be doing the fronts next week, I have always used Wagner Breaks and rotors. I have been using them for 20 years and 5 of those vehicles have been jeeps with zero complaints.

I did a change on my moms 2011 Malibu last year. She barely drives and we live in northeastern MA so after 9 years and 21k miles later they just rusted out. Pads and rotors especially the rear parts. I used Wagner pads and rotors and been using them for many years with great results.

Ok, so, at a particular location I worked at we used Wagner Thermoquiets. Decent pads, but this particular location seemed to get the worst quality pads ever. The only way we could keep the customer from coming back was to make sure everything was well lubricated, and we also used some sort of orange goop to stick the brake pads to the calipers. Then we took it out for a break-in session, I believe it was 5 stops from 30mph, gently using the brakes, then another 5 with moderate brake pressure. And if the customer was too hard on the brakes it might still come back.

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.
