Brake pads EBC or ATE
EBC red stuff pads work great. Better stopping power than stock, way less dust, but I've always swapped rotors and pads at the same time.
I have the EBC Yellowstuff pads. They are very smooth and there is no vibration. The factory Brembo pads are horrible and they try to rip you off on the price.
Just replaced my rotors and pads all around. So far I like the Red Stuff much better than OEM. Less dust. Less noise.
I ran bluestuff on my FK8 for two days. I am a novice and it worked great.
I use EBC blues on front and EBC yellow on rear (they don’t make blues for my rear brakes). I love them, I think they work great on street and track, although wear a lot faster than Yellows did when I was first starting out.
I had ebc reds on my last wrx and loved them. There were a lil dusty, but I was very impressed with their stopping power
Last week I got R1 Concept drilled & slotted with EBC RedStuff brake pads. This is my 2nd set of redstuff pads. Did about 40k miles on the first set with no squeal or shakes.
Get ATE or Textar pads, buying more known pads because they are "performance brakes (which you see at the register)" is basically throwing money away just because "they are expensive so they must be better" and is idiotic imo.
I burned through a set in 1 day in my WRX, then tried EBC blues and also burned through a set of those in one day.
If you’re going to run lap after lap they don’t hold up.
