Owner reviews for brake pads

Highly recommend stoptech street performance pads edit: not if your dust averse which it seems you are

Akebono's are expensive? News to me. I keep buying them because they offer no noticeable deficiency in braking compared to OEM in day to day driving, while making well less than half the amount of brake dust and come in substantially less expensive than OEM.

My buddies R with HRE FF01's and AP Racing 6 piston brakes.

Carbotech XP10 Front Pads Only - USED - $45 shipped to U.S. lower 48 -these are proper endurance racing pads (popular in Spec Miata, Spec E30, etc), I wouldn't try to use these on the street -used for 2 track days on my '09 TDI -11.6mm of friction material remaining (approx 85%)

Brake job coming up this weekend. New rotors (Centric blanks, OEM size) are still in transit to my door... but here's the good stuff. Ferodo DS2500 brake pads and RBS600.

I have had my set up on for about a month now. Stopping power is significantly better as well as way increased pedal feel. Bite is fantastic just with the Hawk HPS that I run on the street and even better with the DTC-30's that I run on the track.

Stock pads have always been like that. My MKIV was like that as well especially in the rear. So I changed them with Mintex pads.

Brakes feel really grabby, brake very well IMO

replaced calipers with OE ones again, uprated discs with mintex pads. worked hundreds for bout 500miles and now its playing up again like before.

my experience with HP+ is that they squeeled annoyingly high when they were cold. I took them off after track days.
