Get Powerstop Pads and 2 piece brembo rotors. You’ll come in at less than performance kit and practically no brake dust. From my experience I got the same brake feel as oem, I wouldn’t track it with those pads though.

Pros: practically no brake dust

Cons: wouldn’t track it

When I bought my ‘18 AMG GLE43 back in July, I bought a complete set of PowerStop performance ceramic pads and drilled & slotted rotors for the front and back. Since that time, I’ve put over 4000 miles on my AMG GLE43 and the new brake setup works incredibly well. They look great, feel great

Pros: look great, feel great

Mileage: 4000 km

The textar pads are great for normal and slightly aggressive driving. The initial bite is great compared to ceramic pads, although they do dust a lot. To me the trade off is worth it for great pedal feel.

Pros: great initial bite, great pedal feel

Cons: dust a lot

Vehicle: Audi S3

Complete shit. I have replaced failed power stop with auto parts house brands before I stopped selling their products because they were such an issue and the parts store ones were better.

Cons: complete shit, failed, issue
