I swapped in a set of Powerstop Z26 pads at around 5k miles and have loved them ever since. 1/4 of the brake dust and I notice no difference in performance which includes spirited driving and avoiding the occasional deer. I actually just replaced my first set of Z26s. They had about 60k miles on them with a little ways to go so they hold up well.

Pros: reduced brake dust, good performance
Mileage: 60000 km

When I had my ST, I did EBC Redstuff pads, and Geomet coated rotors. Low dust, great stopping power, but the pads are a little pricy. I recently moved on to a Golf R, and I wanted to try the Z23 Power Stop pads off Rockauto. I can say they’re pretty much indistinguishable from the Redstuff pads. They have a bed in procedure that you have to go do, otherwise they will feel meh. After bedding them in, they feel amazing!

Pros: low dust, great stopping power
Cons: pricey pads, bed-in procedure needed

I put powerstop pads and rotors on my truck about 100k miles ago. Still have those rotors, but have replaced the pads. They lasted as long as I would have expected.

Pros: long lasting rotors
Mileage: 100000 km

I got the powerstop z26 for like $600 for everything. They look way better and perform better than the OEM. There is zero shake when braking at high speeds.

Pros: perform better than OEM, zero shake
Vehicle: Kia

I got powerstop brakes and rotors but not exactly those. I'm mostly happy with them but they suck little bit when it's pretty hot with the Texas heat for me

Pros: mostly happy
Cons: suck in hot weather

Hawk Performance Brake pads

I ran Hawk DTC60's for one event. They dust like crazy which isn't the end of the world by itself, but if the dust touches any moisture at all (like the rainy track day) it mixes into what I can only describe as ferrous concrete. So not only is the dust-crete impossible to remove by any normal means, it then rusts like crazy, turning whatever wheels you have into a runny orange mess. I tried multiple different wheel cleaners, multiple brushes, soaking, anything and nothing could get it off. I had to use scotch brite and scuff the hell out of the wheels to get it off. Fortunately I run cheap TRM wheels and it's a track-only car otherwise I would have been livid.

Cons: extreme dust, hard to remove
