Owner reviews for brake pads

For example: my 2007 3MZFE Toyota with 227kmi -- considered one of the most reliable drivetrains ever built -- has required brakes, a wheel bearing, an intake rubber coupler, an alternator, and power steering lines replacement this year alone.

I upgraded mine with powerstop z26 pads up front with their slotted and drilled rotors, and z23 in the rear with slotted and drilled there too and stops on a dime and I dont ever detect any brake fade and I drive fast in steep winding roads and up Mt roads with it

I did the brakes and rotors myself for $300. Ebc brakes all day.

PowerStop ceramics. I put them on the fronts. Dust was crazy on the OEMs

I run HH Sintered Galfer pads which make a big difference off road.

I live in Socal and bought mine from a dealer out of state. Get on bimmerpost and search, there are a few like Jeff Steele from Passport BMW or a finance manager at Camarillo. If you are hard on the brakes like I am looking at Ultimate care+ is worth it. I’ve used its twice already to replace pads and rotors

I've got AP Racing brakes all around on my C7, running Ferodo DSUNO pads. While they perform great on track, they squeal HORRIBLY, no matter what temps they're at. While I can chalk that up as a characteristic of this compound, I've ran their DS3.12 on my other car and they only squealed mildly on the street. What concerns me is when driving at slow speeds, I can still hear a faint squeaking when off the brakes as well. When I spin the wheels in the air. I can feel the drag a bit as well.

The last set of pads I used on those rotors was EBC Yelowstuff Truck pads. They were awesome but wore out in 20kmi and squeaked like hell. They also completely ate my Brake Performance rotors. Holy cow they stopped good but, never again.

I swapped to Hawk HP+ as a hybrid but ultimately I hated them on both street and track. They worked fine though.

I changed out the oem and ran Hawks for a while, braking distance wan't much difference but the brake dust was terrible, Rims where dirty all of the time.
