Owner reviews for brake pads

Yes, they're excellent brakes.

Did all brakes and rotors with top duralast gold and heavy duty ceramic pads- maybe 600

Very little dust. Excellent grip. They do take a few min to warm up when cold/wet but it’s not noticeable at all.

I like EBC greenstuff. No louder than stock, good cold bite, and a little better heat resistance. Good for autocross and street, but they won't hold up on the track. And they don't produce a huge amount of dust, though it is more than oem.

I run hawk hps pads on my NA. They've held up to entry level track work and not made much noise on the street. Feel fine when I choose to drive the Miata to work.

For mixed street and track use, I haven’t found a better pad than Stoptech 309. Lots of dust, but no noise on the street and they will take an absolute beating on track (for a street pad). Great modulation at mid temps, low and high temps are acceptable.

Powerstop z23 or the z26 for the slotted rotors. I run them on all of my cars and we sell them at my automotive shop, great brand

I haven't done VW brakes in a while, but I usually use Textar pads on my BMW and Mini. They are OE supplier for most of the BMW brakes, but they do make a lot of dust.

People on the internet always talk trash about ebc yellow, and I assumed it was just internet trash talk. This post is 100% accurate though, they absolutely disappeared on the track.
