Owner reviews for brake pads

EBC Extra Duty pads. Noticeably better then the Akebonos they replaced.

I've been using powerstop track day spec pads for 5 years and aside from crazy brake dust they are the ultimate bang for buck.

I added the same rotors but with TRD brakes. I was satisfied with how they look and the stopping power.

I use powerstop z26 extreme pads and rotors. My car stops on a dime

I upgraded to gx460 brakes on mine and did power stop rotors and pads. Very happy with the performance. Mountain driving while fully loaded is worry free now.

I used to get Akebono pads for my SLK32 from RockAuto.com . Their prices were reasonable and shipping within the US was reasonable.

Hawk HPS or HPS+ pads (I don't remember which I put on my R) but those were a great bang for your buck. They require a little bit more heat so I always get on them a little harder the first few braking efforts but once they are up to temp - Incredible IMO.

I went with Hella/Pagid stock rotors. EBC red stuff pads. All the difference. That's all it took. And there is noticeably less dust on the alloys.

Get some Hawk HP+ pads and you’ll restore the balance.

They’re noisy and nasty and will ruin the wheel finish, but they grab hard.

Replaced front and rear pads with Bosch quietcast ceramic pads. Greased the back of the pads and slides. Pads squeak obnoxiously when cold. So when I roll out of my driveway and brake it’s loud. Then down the street I brake and it’s loud. But once I get rolling onto the main road and they warm up it makes no noise.
