Default Any Experience/Thoughts on Bosch Brake Pads & Rotors

Looking to replace my front pads and rotors on my 2008 Q7 and was looking at possibly using the Bosch QuietCast Rotors with the Bosch EuroLine pads. Anyone have any experience using either of these or know how they would compare with OEM. It's about half the cost of OEM and comparable in cost with some of the other more well known aftermarket brands out there.

I am a big fan of the Adam's Rotors and Stoptech pads...best combo I have put on any SUV.

Zimmerman makes a very good quality aftermarket rotor. I have used them in the past without issue and for the price I can't complain either.

+1. I've used them as well. Couldn't tell the difference between oem and they are holding up great.

I have had vehicles with the Bose sound systems, and they were OK in my opinion. I didn't want it on my Audi so I just kept mine stock. Today, I took my 2017 Q7 in for some service and got a 2018 Q5 loaner that had the Bang and Olufsen audio system. I am an audiophile and was very curious to hear what this system sounded like. This system completely blew me away! Cars are not places to do any type of critical listening, and the sound that I was hearing was absolutely amazing. I use Tidal Hi-Fi and have a playlist that I use for testing systems. The sound of this system is incredible, and completely worth the 5K! I am kicking myself that I couldn't scrape together the extra money to have it in my car! Do yourself a favor and figure out how to get this, if you are an audio lover! I will most definitely not make the same mistake again!!!
