Owner reviews for brake pads

Been running carbotechs on my m2comp and C's and 2 seasons. Love them. Xp10 up front, xp8 for the rear. Track only pads that I can drive to the track with

I use Hawk Blue pads, they brake great and don't wear out.

Akebono was the oem brand last I checked, not sure if still the case. I'm using them, and they stop just like oem, no noise or issues.

Power Stop Z23 pads and Z17 Geomet rotors. It’s like a whole new car - I know that may sound weird but it really drives better, I’m hyper aware of my car and the ride is smoother. I did it at 69k miles, and I wish I had done it earlier.

switched to Akebono brake pads and brake dust was gone on my f30.

yellow stuff pads (crazy good)

I've had Centric pads and rotors on the back (90944519) for 5 years and 40,000 miles. They're ok, but they're much noisier than OEM and tend to grab/groan at very low speed.

2017 STI 86,000 miles - I'm on my third set of rotors and 4th set of pads. It's definitely due to spirited driving.

I have had a different experience; total junk. 15K miles and they squeal like nobody's business.

2023 Taos I'm at 25k miles and rear rotors and brakes need replacement. metal on metal destroyed the rotors.
