Brake pads Bosch or STOPTECH

There’s a rotor and pad combo I’ve used on our allroad 6MT, Escalade ESV & 07 Beetle Vert 3x White. Through trial & error we discovered the only way to keep the under braked 3T Escalade rotors from warping due to pad material buildup was to go countersunk gas slotted & x drilled rotors. They were added to the other vehicles because we found Bosch ceramic pads and the hot galvanized rotors will NOT rust. The Beetle has been running the same pads and rotors since ‘14. They’re silent, don’t leave dust and have amazing pedal feel when cold or hot. They also look new because they don’t rust. The last and unexpected benefit of these rotors is that they don’t fade from heat or water saturation.

Usually for pads though I go with Bosch ceramic for my cars and Bosch semi metallic for my trucks. I have never had an issues and get great life from my pads.

I've been very happy with Bosch Quietcast. I use them on all my cars. Pricier than Centrics, but never had a problem in 20 years and a dozen cars.

I put Stop Techs on my previous Mazda and they were far superior in performance and longevity.

Stoptech + EBC reds is a pretty good option for street.

When I bought my 17 PP the previous owner had Bosch pads installed that screeched nonstop, i avoided driving through parking lots because of how bad it sounded. I replaced them with Brembo pads and couldn’t be happier

I'm extremely impressed with their Sport pads, when compared to their closest Hawk competitor, HPS. I ran Hawks for quite a while and they were ridiculously loud. The Sports give me similar bite, maybe a tad more, but no squeal whatsoever. These were on a Focus RS that I used for DD/autocross.

I just put Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors on my Volvo and they’re great.

I'm running stop-tech sport pads and easily have eaten away 50% of the pad after 1 track-day - which I skipped two sessions of.

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