Rating 5.0

I have the T2s and the DBA SP Street Performance Brake Pads, the green ones, on 4 corners along with SS brake lines. They have been rock solid since sept of 2022 over 50k miles. Hardly any brake dust compared to Stoptech street semi metallic. They are a great all-round setup, Street and canyons.

Pros: rock solid, little brake dust
Mileage: 50000 km

Mintex Brake pads

I've been running the stock brakes with aftermarket pads for a few years and it's worked well for me. Mintex 1144, Ferodo DS2500 and Roddisons pads have all been great.

Pros: worked well, great performance

Mintex Brake pads

I replaced both my front brake discs and pads a month ago and have driven about 1075 miles. On the passenger side, one of the grooves has gone but the other remains and I feel like its getting worse although not 100% sure.

Cons: groove getting worse
Vehicle: Audi TTS
Mileage: 1730 km

DBA Brake pads

I installed rear DBA ceramic pads and rear TRW ceramic discs last weekend and after a week I’m seeing these aggressive scratch channels circled in red. I do hear a constant scraping while driving without braking.

Cons: constant scraping while driving
