Brake pads POWER STOP or Raybestos
You have a Performance Pack car. The wheels are a dead giveaway. Those Brembos are stock. I ended up going with Power Stop Z26's on mine.
Powerstop Z26 pads are pretty good for the price. G-Loc GS-1s are nice for street use. Both are low dust.
Some prices I don't know how they pull off. I got both front rotors for my Armada for $70. Added Raybestos pad set for $13. I've put around 6000 miles on my new brakes and haven't had a moment of noise or issue.
I’ve gone with ceramic pads on my cars. Minimal brake dust, low brake fade, quiet.
I just installed powerstop ceramic pads and blank rotors. Similar stopping power to oem but way less brake dust.
I used a decent set of coated Raybestos rotors and a set of the most expensive PowerStop pads front and rear on my last brake job on my LS 430 — came from RockAuto. The rotors haven’t warped, the pads are wearing nicely and are no where near as filthy as the Brembo’s I had been using and I can’t tell the difference between this setup and the Lexus parts. No squeaks either!
Go to an independent BMW shop. PowerStop Z23 pads are a super budget friendly option. I've run them on all 3 of my street MINIs. Very quiet and low dusting but good performance.
I switched to the Powerstop pads about a month after I bought it and haven’t had any issues with stopping at all, not even a close call (knocks on wood). They still produce dust but I don’t see it accumulating nearly as fast as the OEM Brembos.
I know it's late for my response, here is my reviews on Powerstop brakes they are okay they do the trick had them on my G37 for three years then I replaced them with Stillen cause they offered slotted brakes.
I can wear through an entire set in one day in a gen 1 brz. They did manage to stop the car more or less okay, but they wear like butter.
