Owner reviews for brake pads

Z23 are a perfect balance, on my 2nd set on this wrx

Stoptech sports are the best dual use pad I’ve used…they’re great for fast street driving and they last.

EBC blue on stock rotors, and stock suspension for 2 seasons so far... The pads are done, but I think I'll be getting the EBC blue again

I use EBC red stuff Front and rear. Better than OE performance, with less brake dust.

I like the DS3.12 on my GR86

I run Endless ME20 on my E92 (it has an F80 brakes retrofit) and they work great. Done 12 track days now on the set and they still have over 50% material left, but I'm on my 2nd set of track tyres. Not all the track days have been full-on though.

500 is kinda a lot for just front pads and rotors, i bought a set of Brembo from rock auto for my 2021, it was like 178$ with tax and shipping and i did it my self in under an hour, its actually really easy if you have a set of basic tools and a c-clamp, id run your finger on the outside lip of the rotor if you have a edge replace if not id just replace break pads.

I did this set up for my 2014 RDX Tech. I went with Bosch and I have to replace my front pads again and will be changing them again with Bosch.

It’s the pads. I paid my dealer to change my pads out to Akebono because the dust and noise was so bad. I get that it’s a performance car but good lord it was miserable for a daily driver.

I replaced my brake pads with Textar pads and they are squealing so bad that it is embarrassing to drive it around town. If you are standing outside the car it hurts your ears. I had Porsche sand down the edges of the discs and this has helped a little but not to the point I am satisfied. Although the pads are only a month old I have decided to replace them with another brand.
