Brake pads Bosch or Ferodo
Ferodo DS2500 and PFC 11 are the two best dual duty pads I’ve used. Both are low dust and noise, but the PFC handles a little more heat.
I found ferodo ds uno to be great for track and fine for roads.
I just put Zimmerman rotors and Bosch pads on my front end for ~$400. Worth every penny.
Check Rockauto. I replaced my brakes about 2 years ago with Dynamic Friction Geospec coated rotors and Bosch quiet cast pads. Still in great condition and stops on a dime.
I’m using Brembo brake discs and Ferodo brake pads.
I went with Bosch pads this time on OEM rotors.
I swear by Bosch quietcast. I’ve done cheap brands before but seem to squeak, fade, or make too much dust.
$500 for a wheel alignment and new Bosch pads on all 4 wheels. Car is a 2010 Cruze.
Street driving on the 3.12 killed my AP rotors, so I got a set of DS2500 to swap between track and street. I used the 2500s on track and they wear out fast with the heat, but you can definitely occasionally track on them.
I used ferodo's once... Lasted me 2months daily and a single trackday. I'm only in a Z4.
