Brake pads Hella Pagid or DIXCEL

personally i run dixcel z-type pads and a stock rotor with DOT4 fluid and its one of the best upgrade options IMO

Pagid is decent, I used them on my Cayman and it's survived 20 Laps of the Nurburgring and a track day.

I fitted a Pagid discs and pads (fronts and rears) to my Octavia vRS a couple of months back and don't notice any difference from the previous OEM. Paid £230 just for the parts.

These are the best double duty brake pad I have tested so far. I have tried stoptech 309 and EBC blue ndx which will start to fade around 4-5 laps at my local track. The dixcel pads I can not get them to fade at all. Pad life seems okay with mix use but street manners are abit worst than the stoptech and EBC (sometimes squeals and dust alot).

For brakes, you're limited to whatever you can fit with your wheels.. I doubt you'd fit Brembo's with them, so you may be limited to 4pot/2pot or just rebuilding your current calipers with good street pads and rotors.

On my WRX, I use Dixcel ES pads front and rear

Upgraded rotors (paragon 2 piece) and dixcel type z pads.

I'm running the cheapest coated rotors from rockauto and Pagid "OE" pads and I'm happy with it.

I use Pagid RSL29s on my M3, I don't bother switching pads after events. They work great on the street but I'm in Texas so it rarely gets below 45 degrees here. They squeal but the dust isn't too bad. I don't daily it but I wouldn't have an issue if I did. The squeal is annoying but really not too bothersome to me even though I drive 95% of the time with my windows down.

Honestly, avoid brembo. I think I have pagid on my golf GTi currently as they needed doing and I couldn't get anything else. I drive that hard and not really had any real issues unless really pushing it.

I'd go Pagid because they're a familiar brand. Had some Eicher pads that left really awful dust and were quite loud under gentle braking, lasted 5k miles before I gave up and swapped them out.
