Wagner OEX or Bosch Quietcast

Both are ceramic brake pads that will last longer. Brake fade is experienced in all brakes used excessively but it takes a lot longer in ceramic pads. The only draw back is stopping distance is slightly increase when cold but when warm it's decreased. Bonus is they produce less dust & its very light in color so your wheels look cleaner.

Pros: longer lasting, less dust
Cons: increased cold stopping distance

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 best pads out there right now are the Wagner OEX pads cuz they're built on a galvanized steel backing plate with a mechanical fastening system for the friction material instead of glue. They don't rust out like plain steel pads

Pros: galvanized steel backing plate, no rust

Wagner OEX brake pads are some of the best around. They're built on a galvanized steel backing plate to reduce rust and the pad material is connected to the plate with a mechanical attachment system instead of glue. Wagner is a Tier 1 supplier to several carmakers.

Pros: best brake pads, durable, rust resistant

I've been on Stoptech 309 pads for all 4 years of my car. Winter, Daily and Track. The pads will fade if you get serious enough. I just changed them to Endless MX72 pads I found a deal on rhdjapan.com. They are better in every way.

Pros: good for daily and track use
Cons: fade under serious use

My blew through the stock pads AND rotors in 25k.

Put on the StopTech pad rotor/pad kit and the Mountune steel lines.

While this setup had less bite than the stock setup, it was just as powerful and more controllable/progressive.

They also lasted WAY longer than stock, no squeal, and very little brake dust.

Pros: powerful, controllable, long lasting
Cons: less bite than stock
Mileage: 25000 km

STOPTECH Brake pads

I personally find the stock brakes to be too grabby for me to comfortably heel toe. I switched to the Stop tech street pads and loved them.

Pros: loved them, good modulation
Cons: stock brakes too grabby

STOPTECH Brake pads

Its funny, my close bud actually runs stop-techs, they seem to be doing him fairly well Might consider stoptech's as well for the future. Until then, I'm just going to run these EBC's down a bit more so that I don't feel like its money down the drain

Pros: doing him fairly well
