Brake pads EBC or POWER STOP

I’ve gone with ceramic pads on my cars. Minimal brake dust, low brake fade, quiet.

I just slapped EBC Red pads and cross drilled rotors on mine and called it a day. So far that's been serving me well.

I just installed powerstop ceramic pads and blank rotors. Similar stopping power to oem but way less brake dust.

I've got a 2022 Sport Prestiege 3.3T AWD with Brembos and was dealing with the rotor vibrations early on. Dealership swapped out under warranty, but you and I have similar driving styles so the vibrations were back in under 5k miles... After a ton of research I decided to purchase EBC BSD rotors and EBC RedStuff. Rotors were out of stock with no lead time so sales rep hooked me up with DBA rotors. Had some issues with the front pads clicking, but EBC gave me a new set under warranty and I love them! I'll echo what all reviews say about dusting though.... even the RedStuff dusts a lot; I'd honestly say there's a bronze dusting over my black wheels most of the time, but my car exterior is normally dirty anyway ????

I love the EBC RP-X, fantastic pads. I use those up front and the Bluestuff NDX compound out back. Great HPDE setup on my ~400hp/3350 pound station wagon.

I used a decent set of coated Raybestos rotors and a set of the most expensive PowerStop pads front and rear on my last brake job on my LS 430 — came from RockAuto. The rotors haven’t warped, the pads are wearing nicely and are no where near as filthy as the Brembo’s I had been using and I can’t tell the difference between this setup and the Lexus parts. No squeaks either!

Go to an independent BMW shop. PowerStop Z23 pads are a super budget friendly option. I've run them on all 3 of my street MINIs. Very quiet and low dusting but good performance.

I switched to the Powerstop pads about a month after I bought it and haven’t had any issues with stopping at all, not even a close call (knocks on wood). They still produce dust but I don’t see it accumulating nearly as fast as the OEM Brembos.

Read lots of reviews for power stops but also that they started restickering different pads.

Ford brake pads have consistently sucked ass, they stained up the wheels on my focus st and just destroy rotors and make a huge mess in general. I switched to power stop ceramics and slotted rotors, and they have lasted years on with no visible signs of wear on the rotors, and a pad slap on the rear set once.
