Brake pads R1 Concepts or DIXCEL

If they’re readily available? Dixcel is for us the perfect blend of track/street usage. Dixcel S, or Dixcel Z if you can live with the little squeak.

I might get scolded by the purest, but I went with these R1 Concepts on my 2019 X5.\n\nI too was shocked when the dealer quoted over 2k for brakes, so I started looking at options. I\u2019ve had them for about two years, they have performed excellent and they look amazing.

Try R1 concepts , it got my respect as it almost helped me escape a few accidents in the last 3 months

Dixcel M-Type are the least dusty street pad I've ever used. A little pricey and straight from Japan, but they aren't kidding when they advertise "ultra low dust". Have about 1500 miles on them so far and they're great on the street and for the occasional togue/mountain days.

Surprisingly, R1 Concepts Track Pads. They have been really great on the track (3800lb/310hp? car).

I left them on my daily since I am too lazy to change out the pads and they have been on for about 6 months and a few track days. They are great for the street and track but dusty as hell. They only make noise when it’s cold outside other wise they are fine.

Dump the OEM pads. I went Dixcel in my M3 and the thing stops better and there’s so much less dust. Traded off is squeal at higher brake temps.

I would suggest going to [www.buybrakes.com](http://www.buybrakes.com) and get the R1 Concepts pads for the front and rear. The ones Rockauto has growl a little bit.

I slapped in some r1 concepts pads and rotors on both of my Subarus after the oem ones kept warping.

Tune is pointless for NA in terms of power figures you'll feel the difference a bit but power wise you won't make enough to justify the cost, upgrade the brakes tbh, you get good options from dixcel.

just waring yall about this company.. they dont care about product quality and safety.. had an issue with my setup only 1 month outta warrty and they said pound sand .. they dont care .. brake pads are made in china and rotors now too.. the pads will fail you big time even if you have a daily driver... never again will i buy a product from them
