If you want comfort, use an OE supplier (TRW, Textar, pagid), if you want more performance at the cost of some added noise/dust, Ferodo/hawk/EBC

Pros: comfort with OE supplier
Cons: noise/dust with performance brands

When I bought one of my cars used I immediately noticee the brakes felt horrible. As in they didnt feel like they wanted to stop. Its almost like when your slowing down and coming up on the car infront you expect your car to slow down faster than it is right now. So you oush down harder and harder and you get maybe 10% more braking.  Yeah. Swapped those pads out for some street performance pads. Night and day difference. The brakes actually work now. Good initial bite and good modulation.

Pros: Good initial bite
Cons: brakes felt horrible

Meiner Erfahrung nach bremst das genauso gut wie andere Bremsen, das Problem ist nach 10tkm sportlicher Fahrweise sind Bel\u00e4ge und Scheiben leer, normale Fahrweise max 20tkm. Felgen Kohlschwarz weil nat\u00fcrlich mega viel Bremsstaub in kurzer Zeit.

Pros: bremst genauso gut
Cons: Bel\u00e4ge und Scheiben leer

Rating 3.0

I’ve used trw and jurid pads with Zimmerman rotors and an R1 concepts kit, with their most aggressive pad compound. The TRW ceramic pads are fine, a bit noisy when cold in my experience. Jurid was the same. Zimmerman rotors warped on me in about 20k miles and the car was really only driven in the city so I, personally, wouldn’t pay the slight premium to get them.

Pros: good bite
Cons: noisy when cold, rotors warped
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 20000 km
