I might get scolded by the purest, but I went with these R1 Concepts on my 2019 X5.\n\nI too was shocked when the dealer quoted over 2k for brakes, so I started looking at options. I\u2019ve had them for about two years, they have performed excellent and they look amazing.
Pros: performed excellent, look amazing
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Akebono Pads and Zimmerman Rotors are a popular combo. I just did them myself a few months ago coming off OEMs and stopping seems better and way less brake dust!
Pros: better stopping, less brake dust
I just did the brakes on my Audi. Front was easy, back needed a compression tool to push the piston back and an OBDII module/app to retract the electric brakes. It’s easier than my old Nissan or the Volvo XC90 I had before the Audi.
Pros: easier than Nissan, Volvo
Vehicle:
Audi Q7
Akebono pads will dust less and no loss in performance.
Pros: dust less, no loss

BMW
I've been running those pads for a while now, not only do they feel and stop just like OEM unless you're a person that tracks the car, but they also keep your wheels clean longer. The amount of reduced dust is staggering. No other noise, I've never had them squeal, even when needing to be replaced.
Pros: feel like OEM, reduced dust
Cons: none

Bendix gets the job done for its cheap price. May mannotice ka lang na noise when braking from time to time but still walang slippage whatsoever.
Pros: cheap price, gets job done
Cons: noise when braking
I run Hawk HP Plus on DBA rotors, but I also sound like a school bus stopping. Doesn\u2019t bother me, but they\u2019re on the louder slide.
Pros: none
Cons: louder slide

Ford Focus
only thing I hate about it are the brakes, but it's a hyundai thing, the brake pedal travel is too low
Cons: low pedal travel
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I had a colleague with brake failure on a model 3. The first thing he did after insurance paying for the crash, and hearing he'd be out of his car for at least 3 months was to order a real car, a Mazda.
Cons: brake failure
