Brake pads Zimmermann or STOPTECH

I love all things zimmermann brakes. Not the cheapest but some of the highest quality in my opinion.

I’ve tried nearly every pad on the list here and for a dual duty casual track and street car without needing the change pads I have found the stoptech sport and carbotech ax6 good if you don’t want to swap pads which is better for a first timer in my opinion. Otherwise ferodo ds2500 and the other ones in this thread are good if you get more experienced given time. The carbotech ax6 I am selling a set if interested brand new in box but they are expensive as are many suggestions on this list. The nice things about the stoptech is they are a true do all pad that is cheap as well!

For mixed street and track use, I haven’t found a better pad than Stoptech 309. Lots of dust, but no noise on the street and they will take an absolute beating on track (for a street pad). Great modulation at mid temps, low and high temps are acceptable.

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.

Stop tech sport brake pads have been great to me.

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

I run Stoptech 305s and they exceed my expectations

I did Stoptechs in the front and Golf R rears, I canyon carve in it and the brakes are legit. Heavy, heavy repeated braking, no fade.

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

Stop tech pads have a lot of brake dust. I had them and hated them. I went with the power stop pads low dust on all four and powerstop drill and slotted rotors up front. I already had stop tech slotted in the rear.
