I went with ebc green as red was overkill for red is less dust and heavier cars from my understanding. The greens do me just fine as i dont beat my vb from point a to point b all the time.
Pros: fine for daily driving

I recently changed out my OEM pads to Powerstop Z26 for the front and rear. Big difference over stock. Went through the bedding process and they're really solid.
Pros: big difference, really solid
In prepping the car for sale they spend $10,000 on \"all 100k maintenance items and known chronic problems,\" including brake pads and rotors
Pros: brake pads replaced
Red stuff are absolutely NOT track worthy. Will fade in like 1 lap. Any pads advertised as "low dust" tend to fade pretty fast. Yellow might be ok but I think they're still more of a performance street pad. Project MU HC+ are a good streetable track pad, maybe the best, use them on my Megane RS, no trouble with 20 mins sessions on high speed tracks and trackday tyres (Yokohama AD09). A little squeel at low speed on track but quiet enough to live with IMO.
Pros: streetable, good for track
Cons: red stuff fade fast
Vehicle:
Renault Megane
So I followed their direction and jumped on the old interwebs to my retailer of choice, RockAuto, and ordered Bosch pads and rotors front and back. So I had nothing planned for the weekend figured I would do a little wrenching. Take the wheels off and start to unbolt the caliper, looked down and my rear pads still show about half life. Maybe they just meant the fronts, pop the wheel and they are showing even less wear. My question is it normal for the CX-5 to go 80000 miles on the original pads? I didn't think I drove like my grandmother but it is 70% highway/non city driving. For anyone that does your own maintenance the cost for 4 rotors and pads was less than $200 (Raybestos Element 3 rotors and Bosch Quiet Cast ceramic pads). It really a fairly easy job, and would not take more than 30 minutes per wheel.
Pros: easy installation, low cost
Cons: premature wear?
Vehicle:
Mazda 5
Mileage: 80000 km
They are way better than the duralast pads I had. They have a better pedal feel and don’t squeak. They also stop the truck faster.
Pros: better pedal feel, quiet
Cons: squeaky
Vehicle:
Ford
Yellow stuff. If you don't track they're the better value. Less dust on your wheels, they'll perform in the cold better
Pros: better value, less dust
Vehicle:
Hyundai Veloster
Elantra N and Kona N OEM brake pads fit the Veloster N. I paid $115 shipped. This is the part #58101-IBA00
Pros: OEM fit, inexpensive
Vehicle:
Hyundai Veloster
Part number: 58101-IBA00
I keep XP8’s on my track/weekend car full time. For me, the noise is annoying when I’m driving through town or in a parking lot because people look at me like my car is broken.
Cons: annoying noise
Vehicle:
Toyota MR2
Part number: XP8
Got a 60k MYLR, my pads and rotors seem fine but I keep getting this super loud squeal sound when I brake.
Cons: loud squealing
Mileage: 60000 km
