Brake pads POWER STOP or Ferodo
Powerstop Z23 pads/rotors. They squeal in the cold but they have great stopping power and no pulsations
Rear brake pads: Power Stop 17309
I like the Ferodo DS2500 for street/canyons, tho I find they’re pretty dusty.
Amazon has the power stop brake pads and they have worked well for me
If you have 312 mm front rotors I'd suggest to upgrade to FER-FCP4433G
DS3.12 pads https://www.brakes-shop.com/fer-fcp4433g-ferodo-ds3-12-brake-pads-front.html and Motul 600 / 660 brake fluid (or Castrol React SRF).
With this setup you will be limited by your tyres and suspension.
Don't buy DBA rotors and pads or EBC pads. You will destroy them (like crack in pieces).
Don't run with OEM fluid or pads \u2014 you will definitely lose stopping power relatively early on.
I've put Power Stop on brakes several vehicles and never had a problem
Have been running them a year on my MK4 R32 with my 17z BBK upgrade and they stop great, haven\u2019t faded on me in the mountains, very low dust, no squealing.
I pulled the factory Brembo pads out and installed the Powerstop pads... No more dust all over and they work perfectly
The 3.12s have a LOT of bite and can make modulation tough on certain cars. On my E46 M3, I run DS UNO or DS1.11s. That's with the AP race kit front & rear. Didn't like the 3.12s for that application.
The Power Stop pads do have the end clips but they are moving in the calipers a little. After following the break in instructions that include hard braking the metal sound pad on the outside of the pad slid up and wrecked it somewhat.
