If you want better stopping power, you could use ebc pads.
Pros: better stopping power
Ebc Green Stuff Pads and Rotors
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Passat
Mileage: 301000 km
I installed the same pads, much better than the OEMs. If you want you also don't have to reinstall the pad clips. The thin brass looking things. Not installing them makes it easier to see your pads and how much meat you have left. Also makes changing pads much quicker. The negative is that you might hear your pads rattle a little at first. I haven't noticed after the first couple of days.
Pros: better than OEM, easier install
Cons: pads may rattle
EBC green stuff with EBC sport rotors if I remember correctly. They were easy to install and they've been great for about 5 years now.
Pros: easy install, great
I’m running nicer blank rotors with EBC yellowstuff pads currently. It’s super nice when they’re all warmed up, but they are a bit dusty
Pros: nice when warm
Cons: dusty
I call complete bull shit with oem break pads they are trash iv gone Thu!! the red yellow stuff pads yellow is okay… with rotors solid and drilled …… I’m saying this after owning 2 wrx,s and a shit ton of break issues for the best stopping ability and aggressive driving get slotted rotors EBC the best stoping is with out a doubt is the blue stuff pads and a set of Michelin s sport tires the only thing is you will need to do is drain you dot 3 brake fluid and use dot 4 because liquid moly it’s much higher temp boiling point because I do some serious canyon driving and boi do they get hot !!! At night my buddies have told me my rotors are glowing but non of them can stop like me!!! I’m telling you the best part is the break in is quick af and less rotor wear but down side is they get hot oh and get copper seal savers for the bleeers I have yet to set off my ABS from a 90 mph to complete stop slamming on my brakes
I’ll end this on saying absolutely worth the money.
Pros: great stopping power, quick break in
Cons: gets hot, rear wear faster
Vehicle:
Subaru
I have tried EBC yellowstuff and Ferodo DS2500. EBC yellowstuff won't handle anything on track...they just melt, they arent bad for the price but I prefer the DS2500.
Pros: good price
Cons: melts on track
I'm at 70k km and have changed only front braking pads so far. OEM braking pads and rotors suck. I've switched to EBC brakes brand based on the recs of my familiar Mazda owners and will never come back to the stock shit.
Pros: better than OEM
Cons: OEM pads suck
Mileage: 70000 km
EBC's suck so it's nice they provide a chart with better pad options :)
Cons: poor quality
