Brake pads ATE or STOPTECH

I use stoptech sports. Great pad apart form being a little dusty.

I put ATE on my 335is a year ago and am very happy with them. Almost no dust and good stopping power. When they were new, the initial bite was a bit weak, but that went away after break in.

I've swapped between Stoptech street pads and Carbotech XP-12 for a few years. The Carbotechs (race pads) would require some bedding in whenever they go back on the car. The rotors surprisingly lasted much longer than on the Carbotechs alone (I daily drive the car). I suspect it's due to the ideal working temperature of the Carbotech compound.

I went for Stoptech 309 sport pads since they are relatively cheap, and are comparable to ds2500. I only street

For normal use, I recommend ceramic pads like ATE Ceramic, EBC green/red stuff or TRW D-TEC, since they're lower dust, and lower heat. Otherwise, go with Ferodo Premier eco friciton.

Stoptech Sport (aka 309). Quiet on the street and good enough for track days. The only downside is the dust.

I use Stoptech Sport pads + Centric blank rotors with NB brake conversion on my 91 NA. I mostly daily drive my car, but will occasionally take it on mountain runs or the occasional autocross. Haven't experienced any performance issues with them. They're very quiet and perform well under hard braking. Only problem is that these pads put out a *lot* of dust.

ATE Ceramic pads and ATE disks are my go to because they are OEM, but a little extra performance on top. Zero complaints at all from me and they are quite reasonable price wise too

Its funny, my close bud actually runs stop-techs, they seem to be doing him fairly well Might consider stoptech's as well for the future. Until then, I'm just going to run these EBC's down a bit more so that I don't feel like its money down the drain

That's the standard Toe-N-Go alignment.. most "alignment" places do that, unless you go to a specialized alignment place.
