Brake pads Brembo or Akebono
akebono ACT pads. Street pads, low dust.
akebono proact ceramics. very well priced off of rockauto. they're not super sporty or bite much but they have very little dust and a linear pedal feel. these are same ones i used on my 2021.
Swap out for ceramic pads (I've had good success with Akebono)
I like Akebono Ceramic pads with Zimmerman rotors on my E92, some feel that you lose a little bite but I like them and they pretty much eliminate brake dust.
Akebono are very good brake pads.
For a daily driven car, Akebono Proact are widely praised.
The AST pads are amazing and have incredible bite, especially when warmed up. The pedal pressure is very linear and predictable.
I got the brembo pads from autozone. They squealed a little for about 100 miles but are quite now. The car has some crazy stopping power, it is the S model.
To save you money, they probably did not need to change right rear caliper if only your left one was seized. They also could’ve given you options for prices on brakes and rotors as it appears they quoted you for dealer quality brake pads.
Brembo may have great stopping power but if this is the shelf life of their products definitely regret optioning them.
