SR pads from Brembo. Commute on workday and track-day on weekend on the same set of pads is very convenient for my wallet.
Pros: convenient for my wallet
akebono pads are amazing. try them, you wont regret it one bit.
Pros: amazing brake pads
Will not go back. Love to quick launch, quiet drive, no maintenance. Still on original disks and PADS at 180,000 km (120k miles)
Pros: quick launch, quiet drive
Mileage: 180000 km
Stoptech street performance. Probably worse than stock but still plenty for street/autocross and a lot less dusty
Pros: less dusty, plenty for street
Cons: worse than stock
Vehicle:
Ford Focus
Not an actual issue, but an annoyance: The brakes make weird sounds (like bad-transmission-in-a-transformers-movie- like warbling) and sometimes even feel grainy, but the vw mechanics can never identify anything wrong with them. It’s worse in the cold, but even happens in moderate weather.
Cons: brakes make weird sounds
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Imo I’ve installed powerstop brakes 4 times on a handful of my cars and they rust to absolute hell. Just go for oem or acdelco gold etc I ended up replacing the powerstop for oem anyways.
Cons: rusts quickly
I did have VTC rattle on startup but it went away before I could get around to fixing it. I also had the injectors fail, which were covered under that warranty recall. Also have a leak on the inside of the vehicle from a rear speaker gasket, that will be fixed when I get around to it in the coming weeks. I only learned I had a leak because the interior was moldy and moist. My brakes failed on track mostly likely due to me overheating them, and not properly cooling them down. I ended up melting the O ring on the piston itself. Never really got to diagnose what the issue really was just what I saw and felt. Replaced with "Integra Type R Big Brakes and a Mini Cooper Rotor". Somehow my compressor clutch wire was chopped in half, which caused me to replace the compressor. Though I probably could've just fixed the wires, but I already bought a new compressor so I just replaced it.
Cons: brakes failed on track, melted O-ring
