VW brand or OEM?

What was the mileage on the car before having to replace?

Got the brakes from ERM. They are TRW like my front pads. My original rear pads are Bosch. Original fronts were ATE.

I called erm, $750 for front pair same brand as what bunny posted but I went to automotive supplies and got the same oem Bosch for $415 for the front pair. Still have to get them installed though.

I hope the TRW last as long as the OEM.

The TRW works better than the ATE OEM so far for me in the front. ATE wore out after a year and 8 months. Replacement TRW made less brake dust and isn't wearing down as fast.
