Best Brake pads for Subaru BRZ

I use my brakes sparingly when I drive and rely heavily on engine breaking in my Subaru BRZ.

I have those same pads on my 2018 PP and they don't squeal at all

BRZ is roomier, neutral steering and has the best feel brakes of any car that I’ve owned including the S2k.

I've tried alot of pads including; stop tech sports (309), EBC blue NDX, dixel ztypes and most recently EBC RPX on my 1st and 2nd gen BRZ. Out of all these I would recommend the EBC RPX.

They have higher fade resistance than the rest.

Ankle flicking power all session

Safe cold bite (5°C)

Only slight squeal on street.

I put trd sport pads on my brz an it was perfect after that.

I'm at just about 25,000 miles and the brakes are starting to feel a little worn out. I'm thinking of upgrading the pads (rotors aren't in the budget right now) and was looking at the EBC Redstuff ones. Probably shoulda gone with the power stops but since it’s a small upgrade I figured the extra money is worth it.

I track the car and use the DS2500 pads with DOT 4 brake guild. Let me tell you this from personal experience, the stock pads fade real quick. After 2 sessions or so (15mins sessions), the brakes get real spongy.

I recently replaced all the brake pads on my 2020 brz performance package, and it now squeals way more than before and has a noticeable clunk when pressing the brake pedal especially after reversing. I got Bosch Ceramic QuietCast pads from Rockauto, used ceramic lubricant on the back of the pads and all contact surfaces, and silicone lubricant on the pins. Once I apply a good amount of pressure to the brakes, they're very quiet for awhile but eventually start squealing again. Also I did do the bedding process and it didn't change anything, plus that wouldn't stop the clunking.

I tried Hawk HP+ dual use but they were exactly as people warned. Worst of both worlds.

I swapped to Hawk HP+ as a hybrid but ultimately I hated them on both street and track. They worked fine though.
