I did a pad swap at 6k with EBC Yellow pads and it made a significant difference.
Best Brake pads for Subaru BRZ
I used EBC blue stuff on my BRZ with factory brembos, and replaced the pads using FCP euro lifetime warranty. EBC blues would hold up for multiple track days with stock power on 200TW tires, and I didn’t experience fade at my skill level, usually intermediate at HDPE days.
on my old brz with PP Brembos i really liked the endless super street type S pads. there are even better pads by endless depending on your application, like the MX series someone else mentioned. I only dailied my car and did a couple hard backroads drives a month maybe. but it felt great any time, and even more when the pads were up to temp.
I upgraded to motul 600 and hawk hp+ for my first track day. Both held up very well for my first day. I plan to use better pads next time though for similar reasons, the hp+ will overheat but they are gonna be better than stock. There's still a ton of pad life on them after my 1 track day.
I was hugely disappointed, because the pads are great. TBH, it's basically a low- to mid-tier race pad, so the price is not that ridiculous. I put quite a few track days on them and after trying out some other aftermarket pads, I actually went back to the OEM pads for 3-season street use.
They feel very similar to the original pads, so much so that I wouldn't be surprised if the original pads were supplied by Brembo on the performance pack.
I have a 2017 BRZ with the Performance package 34k miles. Brembo's squeal when slowing down at around 5-15mph. The dealership can't figure out why it's squealing. I found some forums where brake squeals are normal for Brembo.
I can wear through an entire set in one day in a gen 1 brz. They did manage to stop the car more or less okay, but they wear like butter.
