Brake pads Ferodo or STOPTECH

Stoptech Sport (aka 309). Quiet on the street and good enough for track days. The only downside is the dust.

I use Stoptech Sport pads + Centric blank rotors with NB brake conversion on my 91 NA. I mostly daily drive my car, but will occasionally take it on mountain runs or the occasional autocross. Haven't experienced any performance issues with them. They're very quiet and perform well under hard braking. Only problem is that these pads put out a *lot* of dust.

I have negotiated with SWMBO that for slightly more than what we would pay to have the dealer do just the rears I could put new slotted rotors (do not want drilled, slotted only), new Fedora DS2500 pads (have them on the FRS and love them) and coated stainless steel brake lines on all four corners and do the labor myself.

I use the Ferodo DS2500. I track my car several times a year, but it’s also a daily driver in New England winters.Been very impressed with these pads as they are absolutely silent and still bite in the cold. The only noise they make is a clunk when changing direction front to back (like reversing, then going forward again).Dust isn’t any worse than OEM, may possibly be better actually.If you don’t really care about better performance, find a ceramic pad like PosiQuiet.

A brand new Camaro 1SS 1LE will be $45k. It's the best performance bang for buck on the market and comes pretty much built for track days- it has an extra oil cooler, transmission fluid cooler, great brakes with good street/track pads (they're basically the same as Ferrodo DS2500), and the alpha platform has unbelievable potential. The motor is easy to deal with since it's NA (linear power curve, still makes great tq at lower RPMs) and the eLSD+traction control tuning is extremely competent. I beat the absolute shit out of mine on track 1-2 times a month and it never skips a beat even in the disgusting Florida summer heat.

Stock calipers with ferodo ds11.1 pads

I've been on Stoptech 309 pads for all 4 years of my car. Winter, Daily and Track. The pads will fade if you get serious enough. I just changed them to Endless MX72 pads I found a deal on rhdjapan.com. They are better in every way.

My blew through the stock pads AND rotors in 25k.

Put on the StopTech pad rotor/pad kit and the Mountune steel lines.

While this setup had less bite than the stock setup, it was just as powerful and more controllable/progressive.

They also lasted WAY longer than stock, no squeal, and very little brake dust.

Its funny, my close bud actually runs stop-techs, they seem to be doing him fairly well Might consider stoptech's as well for the future. Until then, I'm just going to run these EBC's down a bit more so that I don't feel like its money down the drain

I swapped out the rear pads on my 2017 Mk7 Golf R following the instructions for doing so with OBD Eleven Pro to a "t" and still wound up with a plethora of error codes. I installed new (Ferrodo) pads
