Brake pads Hella Pagid or Project Mu

When I replaced the front pads and rotors, I went with the same OEM rotors from Brembo but upgraded to Project Mu Type NS-C pads. I have not yet swapped rears but I can see that there is significantly less dust with Project Mu pads and no squeal. Stopping power is great and I havent had issues.

I have Pagid RSL29 pads and ATE 200 fluid on Hankook RS4s -- I don't worry too much about brake fade unless it's peak Texas summer heat, in which case I'm managing engine and tire temperature with cool down laps anyway.

I had Pagid RS29s on my street driven but not daily driven car. They were great on track but holy shit the amount of noise they made on the street was almost agonizing. And the dust…. But for the feel they have on the track I would definitely buy again.

I have project Mu pads and rotors, front and back on my 33 GTR. They’re fantastic products. But be warned, they’re gonna squeak. Sometimes badly. Having said that, it’s *because they’re good* that they squeak. They’re pretty much racing brakes, and if you’re not hearing them up high enough, they’re gonna squeak. So be prepared for that.

I got PMu Street Comp pads and rotors on mine, about a couple weeks ago. They are solid, definitely highly recommend the brand.

Pagid RS29 are what I always used to run on my Cayman, and I loved them. Now I run Ferodo DS1.11 on my STI, and I'm a big fan of them too, but I'd still probably go back to Pagids if I went back to Porsche.

Pagid Yellows (also branded as RS29) is what I have on my 987.2 track car. If you want a track only pad, I’ve had great experience with PFC08, but I’ve used that on my BMW128i track car, so take that into consideration. Both can be used to/from track driving too. Just be prepped for a lot of squeal. Both are dusty as they should so be aware of that as well.

I run Pagid yellows, and yeah, they love to squeal when they're cold. Cold, as in, like you said, not at track driving operating temperature. Occasional street driving is loud, but I don't concern myself with that.

Not only is the yellow pad performance better at the track, but they are Pagid's "endurance" pad, so, at least compared to stock, they last a good deal longer too. Performance and durability are easily worth a little noise to me.

The street type are great all rounders, reasonable bite and minimal drop off. Pretty low dust and noise, and wear was terrific. The set I had lasted longer than the oem pads I had before them. The performance of the track orientated pads is absolutely insane. The initial bite is like no other pad I've ever had. It drops off a tad but still great stopping power. However dust and noise are pretty terrible.

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.
