Our shop we use Zimmerman coated rotors and Textar pads. Napa Euro ADO R90 are also really good for commuter cars.

Pros: good for commuter cars

Textar is a renowned brand for brake pads. I like em. Although weirdly, I find their aftermarket pads to be better than the pads they supply to OEs like BMW, Mercedes, and Porsche.

Pros: good aftermarket pads

Cons: OE pads inferior

What brake pad does work but they dust a lot seems to be Textar. Not many comebacks except that the clients complain that they are dirty.

Pros: works well

Cons: clients complain dirty

Cons: less initial bite

I replaced the brembo pads with akebono pads and it squeaked very loud and often for about 1000 miles and then it went down to squeaking much less than the stocks. I don’t really notice it often anymore.

Pros: less squeaking after 1000 miles

Cons: loud squeaking initially

Mileage: 1000 km
