Rating 4.5

Pads, lines, fluid are a lot less and make a huge difference. No need to go BBK or retrofit unless like others brought up. Track it, Auto-X it, or push it on some backroads often. If you have the Performance Pack, the PP brakes are even better. I did an OEM+ refresh on my IS38 MK7. Stoptech slotted, Stoptech SS lines, Stoptech STR600 fluid, EBC Red pads. Still non PP factory rotor size, but brake fade comes on much further out for me now. Gives me a healthy window to enjoy pushing the car before fade kicks in. Tires matter and help more for braking difference. So if that's what you're chasing. Get a really good set of summer compounds on the car.

Pros: huge difference, less fade

I'm extremely impressed with their Sport pads, when compared to their closest Hawk competitor, HPS. I ran Hawks for quite a while and they were ridiculously loud. The Sports give me similar bite, maybe a tad more, but no squeal whatsoever. These were on a Focus RS that I used for DD/autocross.

Pros: similar bite, no squeal
Cons: ridiculously loud
Vehicle: Ford Focus

I can't recommend the 2nd gen cars enough. I bought my 958 on a whim because dieselgate deal and ended up absolutely falling in love with it. As far as costs, surprisingly in my case, it was "nothing is cheaper than an expensive Porsche." YMMV, getting dieselgate pricing and selling during a boom obviously helped, but I just sold it on Monday after 2.5 yrs, having it from 60k-90k, and trade-in (towards another Cayenne) was more than I had paid. In terms of maintenance, only things not on the schedule were brakes once and the winter tires once, wipers twice, and fixed one broken e-brake and one broken brake bleeder.

Pros: higher quality standards
Cons: parts are expensive
Vehicle: Porsche Cayenne
Mileage: 90000 km

Just did all 4 of my rotors and pads(rear pads were gone no warning and destroyed a rotor)

Went centric premium rotors all around, they’re nice and painted black on the outer surfaces

Stoptech sport pads all around, quite abit of bite I’ve been able to drive them in pretty cold temps and rain now with no issue

Pros: good bite, cold temp performance
Cons: destroyed rotor
Vehicle: Subaru

That's the standard Toe-N-Go alignment.. most "alignment" places do that, unless you go to a specialized alignment place.

Pros: standard alignment
Cons: Toe-N-Go alignment
