I went with Dynamic Friction instead after hearing lots of negative feedback, so far very happy 6 mo later. I drive fast and they stop very well. Does produce quite a bit of brake dust though.
Pros: stops very well
Cons: brake dust

I have Dynamic friction 5000 low metallic pads on my 21 3.3 G70 RWD and love them, better bite but dust a bit more than OEM but no brake judder for the 5k miles I've had them on so far.
Pros: better bite, no brake judder
Cons: dusts more than OEM
Mileage: 5000 km
I've been using Dynamic Friction 1000141300 track pads from Rockauto. They've seen 6 or 7 track days now and have work really well without overheating. They also do fine on the street.
Pros: work really well, no overheating
Part number: 1000141300
I have the Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads and they've been a nice improvement. Have no brake judder, better bite, and a bit more dusting from the pads (great tradeoff IMO).
Pros: nice improvement, better bite
Cons: more dusting
Duralast gold rotors and elite brake pads. Great price and performance. If they wear out too early - free replacement. If they wear out just fine - you got your money’s worth.
Pros: Great price, good performance
I use Dynamic Friction low-metallic 5000 pads, bite better but dust more than OEM, been working well thus far.
Pros: good bite
Cons: more dust
I went with Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads and they've been great!
Pros: great performance
Sure OEM pads and calipers can stop a loaded truck on the street, but what about when your loaded truck is on a long downhill rough trail? Your brakes get very hot and you can get brake fade and too much heat can damage components, warp rotors, etc (especially after hot brakes meet cool puddle or creek crossing). I went with Dynamic Friction Ultimate Duty pads and I am glad I did because i hit a bunch of those downhill trails the next trip and they got hot, could smell them, but no brake fade and no issues since.
Pros: no brake fade, no issues
My 2017 is a bone stock daily driver and I have no plans to do any major upgrades or track my car. That being said, I've never had an issue with duralast gold pads and rotors from autozone. Reasonably priced and the pads have a lifetime warranty, meaning you buy them once and can trade the used ones back in for a new set at any time, no questions asked. The rotors have a 3 year warranty and even though mine are only showing some very minor wear, I'm going to take advantage of the warranty and swap them out for a new set in the next few months befor my 3 years is up.
Pros: reasonably priced, lifetime warranty
Cons: minor wear

I'm using Dynamic Friction pads from RockAuto and they haven't let me down, grey performance and heat barely affects it.
Lasted through two track days and still have a ton of pad life left.
Pros: long lasting, heat resistant
