When I had an NC, I put wilwood pro matrix pads on. I did a few track days a year and then drove it daily in the summer. They held up great, but I wasn't super hard on them at the track.

Pros: held up great, good for daily
Vehicle: Mazda

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.

Pros: performed excellent, look amazing
Vehicle: BMW X5

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.

Pros: great for street and track
Cons: dusty as hell, noise when cold

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.

Pros: good quality
Cons: growl a little bit
Vehicle: Hyundai Genesis

I originally had r1 concepts rotors and pads but the pads started to squeak like crazy at slow speeds. Rotors were still good so I put on akebono pads and they are perfect.

Pros: they are perfect
Cons: pads started to squeak
