Owner reviews for brake pads

Stoptech brake discs and EBC brake oads.

I have Akebono ceramic pads on my Volvo, haven't really had a chance for any super spirited driving but they handle regular driving well and are fairly quite and dust free.

I’m using Motorcraft pads because I wanted the same pad formulation that the regenerative system is calibrated for, plus the original pads seemed to have very little dust.

I installed Akebonos on my 2012 Mata and was happy with them.

The OEM pads on my R create more dust than my Hawk HPS pads on my GLI. I’d rather have pads that perform and are kind of dusty. Honestly the dust is easier to clean off than the stock pads so it’s a wash lol.

I liked the feel of EBC Yellow better but everyone bags on EBC and they were dustier than the Hawks.

Just did all 4 of my rotors and pads(rear pads were gone no warning and destroyed a rotor)

Went centric premium rotors all around, they’re nice and painted black on the outer surfaces

Stoptech sport pads all around, quite abit of bite I’ve been able to drive them in pretty cold temps and rain now with no issue

I went with Powerstop pads and centric rotors from Rock Auto and have been happy with the increase in bite and stopping power. I believe I purchased the hybrid ceramic/metallic pads.

Akebono makes the pedal feel substantially softer. It still stops well, but the initial bite is much weaker than any OE/OEM pad like Textar.

Honestly, I think ebc hh are overpriced hot garbage.
