Bosch brake pads review

Bosch Brake Pads and Rotors are decent quality brake parts.

In addition to manufacturing Bosch brake pads and rotors, the Bosch Automotive Division of Robert Bosch GmbH produces ADAS , Filters, Starters and Alternators, Batteries, Diesel Parts, Gasoline Fuel Systems, Steering Systems, Body Electronics, Engine Management, Spark Plugs, and Wiper Blades. The Bosch Automotive Division revenue in 2019 was approximately $51.9 billion.

Bosch is an aftermarket supplier of brake pads, meaning they’re not a Tier 1 brake pad supplier to any carmakers.

My personal opinion of Bosch brake pads

I’ve used Bosch brake pads an rotors. I think they’re decent quality. However, for the same money, I prefer Wagner OEX brake pads because they’re built on galvanized steel backing plates with a mechanical attachment system instead of glue. So they don’t rust like painted black steel pads
