Best Brake pads for Volkswagen Passat

I also suggest you to buy ATE or TRW pads, because cheap stuff might squeak.

Ebc Green Stuff Pads and Rotors

ATE Ceramic sunt bune. Praf aproape deloc.

Yes, decent enough. Just changed discs and pads on my Passat and no issues.

Heard wide range regarding compound of the ZFs, which are the replacement for rear pads that wore out in 30K on our 2021 Passat. Prevailing info was the originals were organics and the replacements (ZF) are ceramics. Put them on, if they still dust a lot they are probably still organic. The ZFs replaced on the Passat don't dust much, if any, so are probably ceramic.

I've used Powerstop in the past and like them. Good stopping power, low dust, good price.

Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic... I didn't like them at first, until I bedded them in one early morning and ended up warming up to them.

Akebono euro ceramic are good, but I didn't like the lack of a linear feel to them

I do not like the brake feel on this car. Extremely touchy. Not at all like my 2014 GTI. Good to know some different pads might address this. Might look into that.

Also, the steering wheel had a good amount of vibration when applying the brakes. Told the dealer about it, and they came back to me and told me absolutely nothing was wrong and my brakes were perfect.
