Owner reviews for brake pads

I went with Genracer’s offering of EBC red stuff pads and EBC oe replacement rotors. The price was very reasonable and I don’t track the car, only do some spirited driving. So far I like them but LOVE the reduced brake dust.

I went with ATE all around, very very good for the price.

Happy to report the upgrade seems to be worth the effort. The brakes seemed very smooth and responded well on all the downhill coming through the mountains. No noticeable noise, overheating or warping of any kind. Just smooth consistent brake and pedal feel for the entire trip out and back.

I bought the Mazda a while ago and hated it. I improved my skills and bought it again last night. It was a fucking blast. Have to be careful with the brakes and backend sliding but it is a straights rocket and has decent cornering without any assists.

I got my PowerStop Z26 Street Warrior pads through them about 2 years ago and they're working fine.

i had this same work done on mine after i brought her home last year. cost about the same (im in a HCOL area). did the air filters myself, saved a few bucks. but everything else: brakes, spark plugs, etc... 08's are a .1, if its yours, might as well add in a borescopes through the plugs for piece of mind!

Gen1 here but just put on ebc rotors and pads all around.. fit great/work great. Have used ebc for years no issues.

Had the Hawk 5.0 HPS and they dust their ass off. Took them off and went with the ceramic Akebono and I don’t even notice a difference in pedal feedback after breaking them in. Initially they did have less stopping power but now I can’t tell. They also squealed at low speeds for some reason. (Such as pulling out of driveway)

I've ordered brembo pads from them. After doing one corner I realised that there were 3 identical pads and 1 different pad for a different vehicle. I spoke to them about my issue and they send me a replacement brembo pad shipping free.

Junk. Brakes are too small. Have to replace quickly. Plastic shit interior.
