I bought front and rear brake pads/ rotors (rock auto, centric brand, akebono brakes) for $300. It took me total about 3 hours since I had to bleed the brakes, change pads, rotors, and remove off jack stands.

Pros: cheap brake pads/rotors
Cons: 3 hours installation

I personally like Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads or powerstop ceramics. Low dust, brake plenty fine for daily use and spirited driving.

Pros: low dust, brake fine

Stoptech 309 and Endless MX72/CCRG pads. They were great for my beginner's pace on the track. Obviously once I started pushing it more, you'll find the limits of the pad.

Pros: great for beginner's pace
Cons: limits when pushing more

I run StopTech Sport pads on my street M3 for the days I want to give demo laps to my students on days I'm instructing and don't want to do deal with the track car. They work totally fine for both.

Pros: work totally fine

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
