I have Powerstop with carbon ceramic pads. I absolutely love them and they’re much better than my stock brakes. Whatever brakes you do get make sure you break them in.

Pros: much better than stock

I run Hawk HP Plus on DBA rotors, but I also sound like a school bus stopping. Doesn\u2019t bother me, but they\u2019re on the louder slide.

Pros: none

Cons: louder slide

Vehicle: Ford Focus
