Pagid every time. Never had a problem with any car I’ve put them on.
Pros: reliable, no problems
Back in December, I had discs and pads replaced all around on my 2018 Octy vRS. My local garage was happy to fit supplied parts. With the discount Halfords were running at the time, I've had Pagid discs/pads fitted. No rattles, no squeaks, and they stop me when they need to.
Pros: no rattles, no squeaks
Vehicle:
Skoda Octavia
Highly recommend the Akebono ASP888 & ASP905. Not overly expensive, great stopping power, low noise, and low dusting.
Pros: great stopping power, low noise, low dusting
Vehicle:
Infiniti
Part number: ASP888 & ASP905
If you want more braking performance but don't mind the extra dust, the EBC Yellowstuff pads are my favorite street pad.
Pros: more braking performance
Cons: quite dusty
Vehicle:
Audi A4
I've got the rs5 with ceramic front brakes, I'm looking to get the pads replaced, back ones are 100 for a genuine set, but front ones are nearly 1000 for a genuine set?! I inspect my front pads and see they are made by brembo and have audi branding on it. A little bit a research and I find OE equivalent pads from brembo for only 240. They felt the exact same to me on the track.
Pros: cost effective, same performance
Vehicle:
Audi RS5
I've ended up with Power Stop on 3 Fords (Fusion, Escape, and Focus) and an Infiniti (Q50 3.0t AWD) and have been happy. Plus it's easy to just buy one kit and everything shows up together. I tend not to use their grease (I have a big tube of sil-glyde in the toolbox) and their retention springs for the rear calipers on the Escape didn't fit (this is not uncommon with other brands I've had on it as well). I've also had very good results with AKebono and used to swear by Wagner ThermoQuiet pads until I had trouble getting them a couple years ago and got the Power Stop parts.
Pros: easy to install, good results
Cons: springs didn't fit
I have a 2018 Tesla Model 3 with 60k miles on it. Never been serviced beyond tires replaced, cabin air filter replaced and adding window washer fluid. Brakes look brand new.
Pros: Brakes look brand new
Mileage: 96560 km
The pads work great, no fade for me at my skill level, even with a 40 minute session. Also work great on the street, with no noise or issues cold. However, I am using up about 70% of the pad in 2 hours of track driving. Particularly the rear pads, which are wearing noticeably quicker than the fronts.
Pros: good street performance, no fade
Cons: high wear rate, rear wear
Vehicle:
Porsche 911
Not only do they do that, they're a terrible autocross pad. Dust is something that happens with pads that stop there are very few that stop and don't make dust. However there are different types of dust, stuff that sticks to everything and stuff that wipes off easily. But the problem with those pads in general isn't even the dust it's there very on off switch nature. They're very powerful and they're very grabby and they do not release well either which makes abs fight a lot more to do its job.
Cons: terrible autocross pad, on/off switch, grabby
