RaybestosElement3 EHT™ Automotive Replacement Front Brake Pad for Selected Audi (A4, A5, A6,Q5) Model Years (EHT1322)

First of all the good is that the fitment is great and install (on a 2014 CX-5) is easy. It was nice that they came with the plates already attached to pads which saves a step. I'll throw in the caveat that I race cars so I'm pretty particular on brakes. With that being said, my only knock and why I went with 4 instead of 5 stars is that they do require a fair amount of pedal pressure. I really don't understand the reviews of "great stopping power" since brakes already can over-"power" tires. (Otherwise ABS wouldn't be needed. Yes an over-simplification, but pads aren't going to give you more "power".) So what I'll assume they are talking about is the amount of "bite" or pedal pressure you have to give for the amount of braking you feel (and perhaps have a different vehicle application for these pads) . Anyway, I didn't find these pads to have as nice of a feel as the stock pads, and there is a *noticeable* difference jumping from my CX-5 to my Honda Fit which has stock pads and requires much less force on the pedal (granted it is a much lighter car). The modulation (pedal release at the end of a stop) on the other hand is quite nice with these pads. I've not had them long enough (just a few weeks) to comment on pad life and how they perform once they start to get thin.

I like the design on the pads. Easy install. Fits perfectly. These pads look premium and should last a long time. Thanks

I did a pad slap job on my 5th gen 4Runner. These replaced the original factory front pads on my rig that I bought brand new. Time will tell if these last the 5 years/50K miles that the original pads did but they have noticeably better bite/stopping power than the OE pads. Little bit of a tight fit but that could be on me for not wire brushing where the pads sit. Great value and my new go to pad if they last as long.

I installed these on my 2016 G80 and they were great as my girlfriend had taken the car down to the very bottom of the pad.

Fit great, nice and quiet

I didn't realize how bad and worn my pads were until I put the E3s on with Raybestos rotors too. Absolutely awesome combo. I very highly recommend them. Quiet, excellent build quality, and best of all.....they stop the car. I also suggest bleeding the brake lines at the same time. A lot of people forget to do that step. Lots of videos on YouTube showing how to do it.

So the picture shows the pads to be rated at GG. The delivered pads are friction rated GH. I look for to rebuilding my brakes with theses and new calipers.Work well, increase braking power of my truck

Just got these and installed them along with some new Beck-Arnley rotors. Seem to be a good match. Been on 3 days now, so I cannot say much about how they are over time. They were pretty standard to install.

I have installed these on the family car, Taurus-X front brakes. It gives a very good braking. The car feels almost like it’s brand new again (regarding braking, don’t get me wrong!). Installation was easy as all new stainless steel hardware is included. The pads have no slots in the middle for dust dissipation. It doesn’t make any difference. The price was simply fantastic too. Remember to give a good cleaning and lubrication on all your brake caliper components upon installation. Dirty gummed up caliper guide pins are to be checked carefully to avoid poor braking performance.*Box was received in poor condition but all parts were in good shape and ready to be used*

Perfect fit for a 2017 Civic Hatchback Sport, bought Raybestos pads EHT18785 and 982073FZN rotors.Old ones were rusty and had rust rings from insufficient braking to clean them off by 70k km.Cleaned the brake pad slide and contact areas with a wire brush and scraped off rust with a flathead screwdriver. This is very important because the rear brakes do not have shims so it will rust easily causing sticking pads. If you need a hammer or something to tap the brake pads to fit, it means that there's too much rust and you need to clean them more. The pads should be easily installed and removable by hand with no force at all.Hopefully the rust proof coating works to prevent rusting.

I am very picky on car brakes and tires. Those Brake Pads completely changed my car braking power. They are fantastic and the difference is huge comparing it to other big brand names. Very safe and reliable stopping power. No doubt this is the best brake pads in mine 40 years driving experience. I bought the same pads for my wife's car and they are more then noticeable better.

Producto de muy buena calidad y capacidad de frenado algo de chirrido en frenado de reversa por el acoplamiento de las balatas al disco una opción más económica para impreza 2017 Tomás y XV 2018 o más no le doy cinco estrellas porque pese a incluir el hardware este no es 100% compatible

I used Raybestos Element3 pads and rotors on my car, and it was like upgrading to performance brakes! They are super quiet, very grippy, no dust, and are way better than oem.Highly recommended!
