Stoptech Street pads for the Akebono brakes. I've only got 16k miles on them and they still look new, despite having drilled & slotted rotors. I do heavily downshift and engine brake, which explains the lack of wear. I'd buy them again as they're quiet, but they do produce a fair amount of brake dust.

Pros: quiet, long lasting
Cons: lots of brake dust
Mileage: 16000 km

I switched from oem to EBC slotted rotors and StopTech "Street" pads about 20k miles ago. I won't be switching back. Firmer and more immediate initial bite, more consistent brake feel, and no brake fade even when carving up the canyon. This with good lifespan for the pads, zero noise, and low dust. I do have to be mindful when braking in traffic though, as the pads took about ten feet off of my 60-0 stopping distance and the performance tires a few more, and I don't want to end up wearing the vehicle behind me. I have a '16 sedan and only changed the front brakes out.

Pros: firmer bite, consistent feel, no fade
Cons: shorter stopping distance

Stop tech sports pads, from my experience it bites great. Same amount of dust as brembo. I have tracked them lots of times, great for daily too

Pros: great bite, low dust

I installed Stop Techs in my 2016 WRX at around 10,000kms. Didn't notice much difference. Hated them, squeked a bit when new. But they left brown dust on my nice clean gold rims and I hated that. Swapped the stockers back in and again didn't notice much difference in stopping, maybe i had to push slightly more to come to a stop. But so glad I don't have shit coloured brown front rims.

Cons: squealing, brown dust
