Febi Bilstein front brake pad mini review

[MaverickWRX]

Hi Guys

As some of you know I fitted these about 2 weeks ago.They are nicely bedded in and I cannot find any fault with them.

Brake pedal was a bit spongy after fitment ,but did a bleed and improved a bit .now they are back to normal.
No brake squeal at all
Braking power is the same as oem
Imho awesome product so far.

Clearly there are massive variances in their product quality, as my experience with Febi pads was the complete polar opposite of yours.
Vague feel, low brake force and appalling levels of brake squeal is how I would describe my experience with Febi pads.

Febi discs won't last half as long as oem discs as Febi use cheap and soft metals which the pads will eat through in no time. You will need new discs at every pad change if you use Febi.
As far as their pads go, I will never try them as skimping on brakes is the last thing you should do. Besides, you can easily get textar pads for similar money and it's a oem part.

I have a set on the rear currently fitted last second was all i could get they dont like heat and are very noisy when hot also seem to be grooves developing on the disks

cant comment on performance or feel because I have other pads on the front

have Textar ready to go on the rear if it gets much worse

based on this experience i would not recommend for performance use
