    I warmly welcome.
    Well, I have a problem with brakes and now I will describe everything.
    In mid-2015 I bought a VW Passat B5 I made it completely with brakes TRW discs, TRW pads, TRW brake hoses.
    Well, yes, I have a good car since mid-2015 and I changed the brakes but TRW blocks are hard and of course since then I have already made 40,000 km on them, there are still more blocks, but this is not a problem, I noticed that the shields fly through these pads and if it goes on this way, KPL of these TRW blocks will give me the KPL of these brake discs.
    I do not want to put something soft but half soft, but that they are not hard :) The price is not interesting for me because I have full discounts on parts by a friend.
    I am asking for a hint with pads that brake / do not hit such discs and, of course, are not hard. A friend was telling me to put Bosch, ferodo or some Rothausa or something like that.
    I am waiting for help.
    I remind you that I have a discount and I want to change the KPL pads front + back though there is still half and even more but by these pads fly discs: /
    Passatio ride quietly but often they will be up and anxiously :) so it sometimes stops sharply.
    I do not know if this is necessary, but I prefer to write.
    Thanks in advance for your help.

    The ate set will be squeaking. Ate shields, brembo blocks or brembo set.

    You do not understand me, I want to replace the pads, the shields are still in good condition, but when I leave these blocks with TRW on those shields that are also from TRW, the shields will be discarded after one pad: / Cars rather soon I will not sell unless it breaks down but too there is nothing because everything is taken care of and changed books, oils, filters, candles, wires, etc ...
    I bought it as it had less than 266,000 km, currently it has 307,000 km.

    The best brake pads (and discs) for the VAG group which I assumed was Hella Pagid ... they do not dust too much, they do not squeal, the brake is bent, the discs are efficient and they do not drill.

    In my humble opinion, your shields are some made in china. I have a set in the audi A4 with TRW 120,000 shields still ok and the second set of blocks. I do not think it's a problem with blocks only on unpaved shields.

    Maybe I made in china, I got them properly and as hard brakes, they brake about ?
    These blocks MADE IN CHINA had from Niedziałek on discounts :-P Now I have a spare part supplier for the maximal discounts, I found out about the suspension of the lemforder which I bought for 1500 at Niedziałka 2700-2800:> I know the price on the discounts not to.uwierzenia too but all the invoices I have what :)

    You bought the trip and that's it. Original TRW 3-4 changing pads will withstand.

    I bought my audi brought from Germany. The car was on lux blocks. In any case, I have already done 70,000 on them and the back ends and the front still blows from 15-20 thousand. It is true that the clamp held the rear left wheel and if it was not for this, then the back would fly a little more. Bosch blocks. They have not once squealed and braked normally, as it should.

    Thanks to all for the help, the decision was made that boschówka would apply front + back.
