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
Vehicle: Mazda 3
Mileage: 20000 km

Pros: great bite, low dust

I personally run the StopTech 309's on just about all our cars, even my SO's Sentra. The price is good, usually about the price of OEM or NAPA replacements. There's a good initial bite, but it's not overbearing. And most of all the modulate well - which is what you want for autocross pads.

Pros: good price, good modulation

I've swapped between Stoptech street pads and Carbotech XP-12 for a few years. The Carbotechs (race pads) would require some bedding in whenever they go back on the car. The rotors surprisingly lasted much longer than on the Carbotechs alone (I daily drive the car). I suspect it's due to the ideal working temperature of the Carbotech compound.

Pros: rotors lasted longer
Cons: Carbotech bedding in

Stoptech Sport (aka 309). Quiet on the street and good enough for track days. The only downside is the dust.

Pros: quiet, good for track
Cons: lots of dust
Part number: 309

I use Stoptech Sport pads + Centric blank rotors with NB brake conversion on my 91 NA. I mostly daily drive my car, but will occasionally take it on mountain runs or the occasional autocross. Haven't experienced any performance issues with them. They're very quiet and perform well under hard braking. Only problem is that these pads put out a *lot* of dust.

Pros: quiet, good performance
Cons: lots of dust

The brakes were so-so, and it had lots of torque steer, and benefited greatly from an aftermarket and much stiffer rear ARB, which improved its turn in and corner habits tremendously.

Pros: improved turn in, corner habits
Cons: so-so brakes, torque steer
Vehicle: Honda Prelude

Even though they have the word street in the name, they are very prone to judder and deposit build up and are not good under gentle street usage.

Cons: prone to judder, deposit build up
