Just today installed powerstop z32 pads and evolution coated rotors. Best you can get without making the jump to EBC pads.
Pros: best quality
Akebono is by far my favorite with minimal dust and excellent lifespan. I have used Bosch and Mazda OEM over the life of my car.
Pros: minimal dust, excellent lifespan
I tracked an EVO for about 10 years and went through just about every modification you could making the car more reliable and faster. I started out with carbotech xp10 front and xp8 in the rear. Those are great beginner pads with amazing initial bite and a lot of modulation but they will wear quick and they're expensive. Also, once you start compressing your brake zones you'll find they don't have quite the amount of bite needed.After carbotax I went through a bunch of different pads from ferrodo, to hawk to stop tech to pfc and probably a bunch more in between. Ultimately I settled on hawk DTC 60s front and rear.For my driving style the DTC 60 provided amazing initial bite and release without ever overheating, even on Hoosiers. They also lasted really long, almost as long as the pfc08 which is an endurance pad.
Pros: amazing bite, long lasting
Cons: expensive, wears quick

Mitsubishi Lancer
I had Akebono ceramics on my first GX, have OEM on my current ride. OEMs may offer a slightly better pedal feel but are much dustier (Akebono didn't dust at all). No real difference in stopping power, so overall it's probably a wash.
Pros: better pedal feel
Cons: much dustier

I had Bendix GCT on my cars. Lakas nya kumalmot ng rotor discs nyan that i now need to reface the discs on the yaris. Yung e90 ko is in need of refacing na din dahil sa bendix, ginagasgas nya and rotors. Also produces a lot of brake dust lalo na white wheels ko kita agad.
Cons: Damages rotors, excessive brake dust
