I swear by Bosch quietcast. I’ve done cheap brands before but seem to squeak, fade, or make too much dust.

Pros: quiet, less dust

Cons: squeak, fade

OEM brake pads are most of times manufactured by BOSCH. So if you can identify the supplier you spend less $$$ for your spares

Pros: spend less money

I run Hawk HP Plus on DBA rotors, but I also sound like a school bus stopping. Doesn\u2019t bother me, but they\u2019re on the louder slide.

Pros: none

Cons: louder slide

Vehicle: Ford Focus

You absolutely do not want DTC70s on street. They will devour your rotors and vice versa.

Cons: devour rotors, not for street

Vehicle: Mazda
