When I had an NC, I put wilwood pro matrix pads on. I did a few track days a year and then drove it daily in the summer. They held up great, but I wasn't super hard on them at the track.

Pros: held up great, good for daily
Vehicle: Mazda

Used to swear by Akebono pads and they never let me down. For rotors I'd go with Centric or Raybestos - they're solid without breaking the bank. Skip the cheap stuff from AutoZone though, learned that lesson the hard way

Pros: reliable, solid performance

I hated the OEM rotors and pads. I replaced all 4 rotors and pads with a centric premium rotor with akebono pads. This was done at 35K miles, and now at 71K miles, I am very glad I did it and the new pads have held up well.

Pros: new pads held up well
Cons: hated OEM rotors and pads

I got what I was lead to believe were quality pads and rotors Akebono pads, dont remember the rotors.

Ever since i've had noise from my braking system. Took it in to get looked at and was told it was fine, just the noise was from not replacing the rotors.

Pros: quality pads
Cons: noise from braking
Vehicle: Nissan Maxima

I used the akebono asp and pro act on my lexus. They were pretty crap for the application. They lacked any bite and you had to really push to get any decent braking. But thats probably ceramic pads in general. They were very low dust through and quiet. Switched to a forza street performance pad and night and day difference and the pad was still low dust, low wear and virtually silent. Just hard to get them.

Pros: low dust, quiet, low wear
Cons: lacked bite, poor braking
Vehicle: Lexus
