Brake pads POWER STOP or OEM BMW

OEM BMW Brake pads

I've been driving it with a Stage 2 tune for 4 years and put another 50,000km on it and I've had 0 repairs. Maintenance is more expensive of course, bigger tires, bigger brakes, more oil, it all adds up but the B58 is super reliable.

Pros: B58 super reliable
Cons: expensive maintenance
Vehicle: BMW
Mileage: 50000 km

I have been using the power stop carbon fiber pads on my 2007 Lexus IS250. They have 60k miles on them, and still have 9mils of thickness. They literally look brand new. I love them, and theyre much less dusty than OEM.

Pros: less dusty than OEM, look brand new
Vehicle: Lexus
Mileage: 96560 km

Configuring new car I would definitelly go for ccbs. The braking power is massive. But if driving in cold weather, snow or cold rain and not touching the brake for couple of minutes on highway and the first braking after that is basically no braking.

If used incorrectly on the track you can fuck them up. Dont ask how I learned that. Swapping them to steelies now. Car is at 130k kms. The weight of ccbs is good but they starting peeling probably due to overheating them with too much worn brake pads.

Pros: massive braking power, good weight
Cons: no braking in cold, peeling due to overheating

I used PowerStop on my Land Cruiser and they were great, so I installed PoweStop on my wife’s rav4 and they were terrible. Very noisy with the squeaks , clicks, and clunks. I replaced them with Akebono and they have been fine since.

Pros: were great (Land Cruiser)
Cons: very noisy
Vehicle: Toyota
