Rating 4.5

At 75K went with OEM rotors in the rear and some Wagner QS ZD1108 ceramic pads. Then went with some Brembo 09.C306.11 rotors in the front with EBC Reds ceramic pads. I don’t track. Stopping power is about the same. I didn’t notice a huge difference. What I did notice, much quieter stopping and NO MORE BROWN BRAKE DUST. Yes, still get brake dust but not nearly as much. And when it collects, it’s more of a light white dust. Easy to clean. Super happy with the change. Even in the winter, stopping power is good.

Pros: quieter stopping, less dust
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 75000 km

WAGNER Brake pads

Bosch and Wagner rotors and ceramic pads are my preferred brands. I put new Wagner front brake pads on the Frontier 5 1/2 years ago and they still have about 3mm left.

Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle: Nissan

Rating 2.5

had a track day over the weekend and saw that a hard, black substance that seems a little rubbery had formed on the brakes. The brake pads are Dixcel ES brake pads. I had not bedded them in and instead street drove with it for a couple months as the website suggested. Brake grease was placed on the pad surface contacting caliper. The track has lots of left turns and I braked from 170+ kmh to 80kmh on the first corner. I'm pretty new so i may have braked deep as I was turning. The substance formed heavily on right front wheel, less on left front and none on rear. Brakes were smoking lightly when i came into the pits. Braking feel didn't change throughout the day as I continued lapping. Car still tracked straight. I tried not to brake too hard and didn't observe any other substance buildup.

Cons: brake smoking, substance buildup
