I put a set of r1 concepts pads and rotors on my wrx that I daily got them off Amazon for like $250 and came in like 2 days had them on for around 7500 miles and haven't had any issues.
I recently replaced my factory Kia front pads with some EHT's. Did not replace rotors, just cleaned and removed some rust on them. Applied some caliper grease to the proper areas and these pads so far have been really nice. A VERY noticeable difference vs. the factory pads in stopping power. My only complaint was that Raybestos did not include new pad retainer springs in the box.
When you need brake pads and rotors get ATE.
My Sport M6 just hit 1000 miles and I was already so sick of brake dust on the rear wheels I installed a set of Power Stop ceramics. The job took less than an hour using OBD11 to put the calipers into service mode. I decided to do it early before the rotors experienced unparallel wear to the OEM semi-metallic pads.
personally i run dixcel z-type pads and a stock rotor with DOT4 fluid and its one of the best upgrade options IMO
I HIGHLY recommend (if you can afford) getting the brembo bbk. I am running EBC Yellowstone pads and they add a very aggressive and satisfying initial bite as well.
Powerstop works better than Bosch in my opinion for brakes, but I would see if you could find regular rotors instead of the drilled & slotted ones. Drilled & slotted rotors are only worth paying for if you plan on abusing your cars brakes.
QuietCast pads are a solid choice. Centric is an OEM supplier and those are a fully coated rotor, so also a solid choice. If you want to spend a little extra, I’d go for Akebono pads. I ran their pad and rotor kit on my old Mazda 3 and they worked phenomenally but, ate through the pads pretty quick under normal city driving. No issues up until I sold the car.
My F82 never has engine cooling issues. The DCT needs a 1qt overfill or a better pan once you pick up pace on sticky tires. Unless you're boosting to the moon, you won't have engine cooling issues though. Brakes are the weakest bit. The stockers feel good, but you really need to cool them.
My Kodiaq at just under 25k miles, one year old, is 25% worn at front, 60% at rear.
Seems the rears are made of cheese.
