Brake pads TRW or STOPTECH

Stoptech street performance (I believe renamed to Stoptech sport) has always been my go-to for spirited driving and track day use in a miata. In faster heavier cars, I use carbotechs for track days, but that's just overkill for a miata.

I would recommend getting TRW Ceramics if you're going to change them. Affordable, good stopping power, low dust, quiet

Just did the rear brakes on my 2015 335i

Stop tech sport brake pads have been great to me.

I replaced them both with stoptech pads and rotors. Good quality and price.

Just did the front pads and rotors on my wife’s 2020. Went with Zimmerman rotors and TRW pads and it brakes like a dream, was recommended them from a friend's euro and exotic shop.

My Golf has TRW and Zimmerman which are like OEM+ maybe

I run Stoptech 305s and they exceed my expectations

There was a noticable increase in stopping power, but it came with a significant increase in brake dust. They also started squealing recently. I recently checked the pad life and it's been okay. So far I've put 10k on em, and I'm estimating that 1/3 to 1/2 of their life has been used

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.
