Get Ate ceramic. never (almost never) have to wash your wheels again
Pros: less wheel washing

Pros: routine oil changes

I'm running standard DBA 4000 blank rotors with Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. My only complaint is they seem to make a lot of brake dust so I'll probably try other pads when these wear through.
Cons: make a lot of brake dust
Vehicle:
Subaru
Part number: 4000
I swear by Bosch quietcast. I’ve done cheap brands before but seem to squeak, fade, or make too much dust.
Pros: quiet, less dust
Cons: squeak, fade
Upgraded brake pads can be louder and dirtier.
Cons: louder and dirtier

Not a classic. I had an ‘84. First brand new car. It was a surprisingly good and cheap car for when I went to uni. Had to replace the brakes often. Thought it was the cheap car. In retrospect it was likely my driving habits.
Pros: good and cheap car
Cons: replace brakes often
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Chevette
The brakes on that thing were absolutely horrible. If you had to panic stop it really was a panic. I never felt that sob was going to stop.
Cons: brakes absolutely horrible
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Blazer
Bro they're trying to fuck you hard. Take that vehicle somewhere else and never go back. No way the rear pads should be at 2mm after only 30k miles
Cons: rear pads worn quickly
Vehicle:
Subaru Legacy
Mileage: 30000 km
