Had the 500s on my old BRZ, they were amazing, especially in the wet which is hard to find on summer tires.
Pros: amazing, especially in wet

I upgraded to motul 600 and hawk hp+ for my first track day. Both held up very well for my first day. I plan to use better pads next time though for similar reasons, the hp+ will overheat but they are gonna be better than stock. There's still a ton of pad life on them after my 1 track day.
Pros: held up well, better than stock
Cons: overheat

Toyo RA-1 - I bought a set of these to run on wet days or when there is real threat of rain. On a dry day, especially with full tread, they don't live up to the other three tires up there. But on a cooler day, especially a slightly wet or wet one, these tires can move. I also find them the easiest of these four to recover from a slide
Pros: good on wet days
Cons: not good on dry days
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
One thing to note with 200TW autocross tires is that they usually will heat cycle out prior to the tread being done. For RE-71R's, that was always at about 125 runs with mine when I could get away with 200 runs and ~5k or more of street miles.
Pros: good street miles
Cons: heat cycle out

Mileage: 8000 km
I was hugely disappointed, because the pads are great. TBH, it's basically a low- to mid-tier race pad, so the price is not that ridiculous. I put quite a few track days on them and after trying out some other aftermarket pads, I actually went back to the OEM pads for 3-season street use.
Pros: great pads, good for track
Cons: low to mid tier
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
They feel very similar to the original pads, so much so that I wouldn't be surprised if the original pads were supplied by Brembo on the performance pack.
Pros: similar to original

I'd also pull the spark plug and check the gap. They're iridium plugs if you have a North American model, so they should be good for 100k miles, but worn spark plugs will kill ignition coils.
Pros: good for 100k miles
Cons: worn plugs kill coils

I have a 2017 BRZ with the Performance package 34k miles. Brembo's squeal when slowing down at around 5-15mph. The dealership can't figure out why it's squealing. I found some forums where brake squeals are normal for Brembo.
Pros: stops well
Cons: squealing brakes
Vehicle:

Mileage: 34000 km
I can wear through an entire set in one day in a gen 1 brz. They did manage to stop the car more or less okay, but they wear like butter.
Pros: stop the car okay
Cons: wear like butter
