In comparison to the stock setup, the Bosch QuietCast pads and rotors aren't as touchy or responsive. They do require a little bit more pedal travel for normal stopping power. However, they do offer more precise control over how much power is applied throughout the pedal stroke. They are also incredibly quiet and smooth.
Pros: precise control, quiet, smooth
Cons: more pedal travel, less responsive

I put carbon ceramic brakes from power stop on my C63. They were an improvement over stock and best of all no dust.
Pros: improvement over stock, no dust
Part number: Z23-1871, Z23-1872
My 2017 is a bone stock daily driver and I have no plans to do any major upgrades or track my car. That being said, I've never had an issue with duralast gold pads and rotors from autozone. Reasonably priced and the pads have a lifetime warranty, meaning you buy them once and can trade the used ones back in for a new set at any time, no questions asked. The rotors have a 3 year warranty and even though mine are only showing some very minor wear, I'm going to take advantage of the warranty and swap them out for a new set in the next few months befor my 3 years is up.
Pros: reasonably priced, lifetime warranty
Cons: minor wear
Vehicle:
Subaru
I upgraded to the akebono pads, and blank rotors. I have been satisfied, and would recommend this combination
Pros: satisfied, recommend
I'm running Hawk HPS pads with Raybestos Professional grade rotors. Got 5 years out of my first set, at 6 years now on the current set.
Pros: long lifespan, durable
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
I have on my front axle the AP Racing CP7600 BBKs. Works like a charm especially with Brembo ceramic brake pads. Only downside is the rust-like brake dust that comes out of the ceramic pads, causing my black rims to look rusted when it isn't. Nothing a car wash can't solve.
Pros: works like a charm
Cons: rust-like brake dust
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Part number: CP7600
15k miles on powerstop “street sport” whatever pads with raybestos painted and coated rotors. Powerstop shoes and drums in the rear. All well so far, hardware appeared quality, pads have a little more bite than whatever was on it when I bought it.
Pros: good quality, better bite
Vehicle:
Honda Fit
Mileage: 15000 km
I track the car and use the DS2500 pads with DOT 4 brake guild. Let me tell you this from personal experience, the stock pads fade real quick. After 2 sessions or so (15mins sessions), the brakes get real spongy.
Pros: good for track use
Cons: stock pads fade quickly
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
I've been replacing the brakes on my 2019 since it hit about 25k or so, rear have been done twice (I'm at 62k now and just did them the second time) and the front were done around 30k. My dealership outright told me Mazda brakes are garbage and these vehicles are not made for Canadian winters (regardless of what their advertising says). This new set is aftermarket so hopefully better but seriously my brakes have been so corroded it's unbelievable.
Cons: corroded brakes, garbage
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 62000 km
