If they’re readily available? Dixcel is for us the perfect blend of track/street usage. Dixcel S, or Dixcel Z if you can live with the little squeak.

Pros: good track/street blend
Cons: slight squeak

OEM pads and rotors for brakes

OEM gave me 140k miles with stock setup, but only about 60k with Titan swap, wider stance, more weight

Pros: long lasting stock setup
Cons: less mileage after swap
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 140000 km

I’ve got an 06 350z, driven it for a year put only 5k miles but, had no problems. I also own an 05 g35 with the same DE engine and it’s got 135k and never had any major problems, and I’ve put over 110k of those miles on that car. No major repairs..1 air bag recall, I redid the clutch at 125k, had to rewire the trunk to work, and I replaced a window motor. Nothing else but, oil changes, brake jobs and battery changes. Both cars are fun to drive, and being as old as they are they cost me very little to maintain, insure, and pay minimal amount for property tax. For some perspective. Next week i’m doing the front and rear brakes on the Z. It’s gonna cost about $65-70 for parts.

Pros: no major problems, low maintenance cost
Cons: clutch replacement, trunk wiring, window motor
Vehicle: Nissan
Mileage: 5000 km

Rating 5.0

Dixcel M-Type are the least dusty street pad I've ever used. A little pricey and straight from Japan, but they aren't kidding when they advertise "ultra low dust". Have about 1500 miles on them so far and they're great on the street and for the occasional togue/mountain days.

Pros: ultra low dust, great street
Cons: a little pricey
Vehicle: Honda Civic
Mileage: 2414 km

Dump the OEM pads. I went Dixcel in my M3 and the thing stops better and there’s so much less dust. Traded off is squeal at higher brake temps.

Pros: stops better, less dust
Cons: squeal at higher temps

Had one 2023 with 31k miles and so far so good , yet the one about the brakes exhaust early is true , maybe you need to change them once every year

Cons: brakes wear early
Vehicle: Nissan Pathfinder

I have the 2023 Rockcreek edition, and at 60,500 KM and regular maintenance, no problems to report. Had to do one wheel alignment so far, and change the brakes both front and back at around 48,000 KM which was the only problem. They need bigger brakes. But I also pull twice a year a trailer for vacations which is almost 4000 lbs. so i guess it might be normal.

But overall I’m happy with it.

Cons: brakes need replacement early

Tune is pointless for NA in terms of power figures you'll feel the difference a bit but power wise you won't make enough to justify the cost, upgrade the brakes tbh, you get good options from dixcel.

Pros: feel the difference a bit
Cons: power wise not enough
