Owner reviews for brake pads

I would rather save a bit and get similar performance and get the Power Stop Z26 carbon infused ceramic pads. If you don't track your car no need for anything higher end as you won't get anywhere near the temps for these to fade.

I would go with the Raybestos Element 3 kit sold here. $180 total roughly front and back. 2 seperate kits, one for front, one for back. You will find this under the fully coated section here as they have different grades of pads. For the price and how long these last, you cannot beat it. And better than the top quality parts local parts stores carry, in fact Napa sells these rebranded as their premium top of the line brakes and rotors. For the price, and the quality, is by far your best option. There are better pads that will last a little longer, but are much more pricey. With the miles you drive, these will last 5-10 years. I use these on all vehicles in the rust belt, as these are rust coated.

Very happy with the setup. I’ve failed to get it to fade on either mountain roads or the track, but never done long stints, maybe 20 min max. The DS2500s are nice because you can swap them out for other more or less aggressive Ferodo compounds without issue.

I ran Hawk pads on cars in the past and hated them, can’t say enough good things about the Ferodos.

I have the EBC Yellowstuff pads. They are very smooth and there is no vibration. The factory Brembo pads are horrible and they try to rip you off on the price.

Just replaced my rotors and pads all around. So far I like the Red Stuff much better than OEM. Less dust. Less noise.

I used the R1 concepts drilled and slotted kit with pads. Front and rear total was like 500 bucks. Did it myself. They work great.

Ric also got Renault to use Brembo brakes when he was racing for them.

with only time and not use, it should be okay. think of it like putting new brake pads but with rotors that are still within service spec.

I have Hawk HP+ on my NA, and while the bite is good, the brake dust is pretty significant

I burned through a set in 1 day in my WRX, then tried EBC blues and also burned through a set of those in one day.
