Help me pick 1 of these brake pads

Help me pick 1 of these ceramic pads (please don't suggest others I've narrowed down to these)

Bosch blue line - some amazon reviews are showing fitment/size issues FF rating

Bosch Quiet Cast (I think GG rating for my car)

Dynamic Friction 5000 line (I believe FF)

Bendix (either regular or priority one, FF vs. GF rating)

Wagner quick stop (dont want thermo quiet, too hit or miss in my experience)- FF rating (I've probably used.these before from the parts store without even knowing)

Pagid Silver - FG rating

Please no other suggestions, this is what I've narrowed down to. I've tried many others higher and lower end but I want to try something different.

Since you said no other choices I’d say Bendix. If this is a European car maybe Pagid.

Bosch QuietCast

Have had very good luck with the DFC brakes on customers vehicles. Not a huge fan of the Bosch stuff.

Bosch. Either line. Amazon fitment is a joke. Don't rely on that......half the parts I buy on Amazon say they don't fit my car, but they do. Or, worse, it says it fits your car, and doesn't......get part numbers from OEM, or even RockAuto. Then, search for that on Amazon.

Which vehicle? What usage?

 

[D1dad]

Pagid.

 

[slacktide_bitog]

Whichever pads ship from the same warehouse as the rotors

Out of your list, I'd want to try the Pagid pads.

The pads you'll get, regardless of brand and type are going to be model specific and the friction compound is likely to change over time. The friction material that came on the Thermal Squeals you bought for your Toyota (for instance) is probably not going to be the same as the type that came on the pads for your Buick and have probably changed several times over the past decade.

I would research for the particular vehicle. My knee jerk would be Dynamic Friction or Pagid, but if for F150 my answer would be none of the above most likely.

 

[JMJNet]

Have you narrowed down on what car make model the brake will go to?

 

[Sandstorm]

Bosch QuietCast is super good and reliable. Never had an issue..

 

[Devo242]

I replaced both the rotors and pads on the Civic in my signature 2 years ago with Quiet Cast. I find them to be smooth, quiet, and dust they generate is reasonable while wearing very nicely. I would gladly buy them again.

You will need more than 1 brake pad. You need 2 per wheel, 8 total if you change pads on all four wheels.

Please no other suggestions, this is what I've narrowed down to. I've tried many others higher and lower end but I want to try something different.

Suggestion:
This is nearly worthless without knowing what car its going on.

 

[Rust_Belt_Pete]

Go with one made in USA or Europe.

 

[sh40674]

Sorry, had the vehicle added then deleted to add another pad and forgot I left it out.

Mazda cx5

Amd since my truck is due, an 11 f150 I'll probably grab some for that too.

Both vehicles have the same well regarded pad on right now (will not name not looking for debates) and not happy with them on either vehicle so that's what kinda lead me to this list. I've tried a lot of brands over the years after a lot of research and always come back to "the ones I complained about the least are always the parts store gold or premium line (advance)" so I'm guessing my list will be somewhat on par with that

 

[sh40674]

Also, not to get personal, but my job is laying off and they've cut any and all overtime. So trying to keep it cheap and the rockauto route. At least get me till spring and if I don't like what I end up with I should have more cushion to splurge then

 

[BMW Dom]

Bosch Quietcast or Dynamic Friction 5000 would be my picks.

 

[boom10ful]

Centric ceramics, Dynamic Friction, Bendix, and Akebono are my go-to s.
