These are the best double duty brake pad I have tested so far. I have tried stoptech 309 and EBC blue ndx which will start to fade around 4-5 laps at my local track. The dixcel pads I can not get them to fade at all. Pad life seems okay with mix use but street manners are abit worst than the stoptech and EBC (sometimes squeals and dust alot).
For brakes, you're limited to whatever you can fit with your wheels.. I doubt you'd fit Brembo's with them, so you may be limited to 4pot/2pot or just rebuilding your current calipers with good street pads and rotors.
On my WRX, I use Dixcel ES pads front and rear
Upgraded rotors (paragon 2 piece) and dixcel type z pads.
I used a 17 Camry SE. Get the Eibach eccentric bolts and sent it with -1.75 camber. It'll really help the car put down some good power.
Get some good tires and brakes and you will be able to tackle downhills all day even at 3200 lbs. I had DIXCEL heat treated rotors all around. Make sure the front brakes have less bite to get that snap on turn in.
Dixcel m pads good stopping and ultra low dust.
Stock calipers with Dixcel SD slotted rotors and Dixcel ES pads.
Dixcel ES pads are a “fast street” pad with low noise and dust that out perform oem pads and can be used for light track application also with effective heat range of 0-600 degrees Celsius. I think they’re the best “bang for buck” pad you can get.
