Received the brake pads today. They look pretty massive.
I had a set of the Carbotech fast road/track day pads in my AW11 before I had to scrap it and they were amazing.
I'm running the JURID pads, too, and I'm at a little over 13k miles. No issues whatsoever...
If your just daily driving then OEM is fine, if you're looking for a slight upgrade then I recommend Carbotech 1521 Bobcat pads. I have the Carbotechs and they are nice.
When I had my mini cooper, I ran the 1521s on stock rotors and never had any issue in the rain.
I have run the Carbotech 1521 on the street and can confirm they are low dust and noise, but not the most performance oriented.
I just changed my pads and rotors at all four corners asI was always very unhappy with the stock pads and rotors; mostly because of noise in the cold and the amount of brake dust the pads made. Upon inspection of my rotors, with barely 30k miles on them, there was a startling amount of material removed and channeling from the pads. I would totally recommend you replace the rotors at the same time. I too went with the ECS slotted and drilled rotors with Carbotech 1521 pads and love the setup. Very quiet, very little dust and good performance.
Carbotech Pads (F-CT682 & R-CT340 1521 Street Compound)
Carbotech XP12's are going on for this season with RE-71R's, went with XP8's before and should of done at least XP10's
When I picked her up, I was told my front and rear brake pads are all down 1mm already. At this rate I’ll likely need to replace them around 15k. I thought this made sense for the front pads since they’re the JURID high performance ones, but the rears being worn that much seemed strange. I don’t drive fast/brake hard/etc, never track, or do anything otherwise that should wear my brakes prematurely.
