STOPTECH Brake pads

Rating 4.0

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

Mintex Brake pads

I replaced both my front brake discs and pads a month ago and have driven about 1075 miles. On the passenger side, one of the grooves has gone but the other remains and I feel like its getting worse although not 100% sure.

Cons: groove getting worse
Vehicle: Audi TTS
Mileage: 1730 km

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

STOPTECH Brake pads

Stop tech pads have a lot of brake dust. I had them and hated them. I went with the power stop pads low dust on all four and powerstop drill and slotted rotors up front. I already had stop tech slotted in the rear.

Cons: lot of brake dust
