The stock pads that came on my RS3 were god awful for brake dust. After 2 days of normal highway driving they looked like crap. They also hit the wear sensor after only 15k miles which is bananas for a mostly highway driven car. I bought a set with a new pair of 2 piece rotors and the difference is night and day. Braking is much stronger and zero fade even in more demanding conditions (the two piece rotors obviously help with that) I’ve had them on for 25k miles and they have very little wear on them. I’d definitely buy them again. That said, be warned that for like 500-1000 miles after they are installed, your wheels will be the dustiest you’ve ever seen. Once that wears off, they run very clean.
Pros: strong braking, low dust
Cons: dusty initially, short lifespan
Vehicle:
Audi RS3
Mileage: 25000 km
I always get Powerstop Brakes from Amazon. A set of Front & back costs me less than 500-600AED. Previously I used to buy Brembo's (OEM) as costed me 1200 AED for front & Back . I don't see any noticeable performance issues at all. The work the same way.
Pros: affordable, performs well
Vehicle:
Dodge Charger
Just did EBC Redstuff and EBC USR slotted rotors on my GTI and they have been great.
Pros: great performance
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Gol
They’ve been installed for a few months now and they’ve been great!
Pros: great performance
They have been great they are not dusty, or grabby when cold. And no squeaks or pad rattle.
Pros: not dusty, no squeaks
Akebono for low dust.
Pros: low dust
Vehicle:
BMW M4
Akebono have always served me well. Felt slightly better than OEM IMO. I’ve also tried EBC Greenstuff’s…brake feel was just ok and they wore very quickly (less than 20k miles).
Pros: better than OEM, good feel
Cons: EBC wore quickly
I really really disliked the ebc yellow I tried. I like my ferodo ds2500 as a pad that’s streetable but tough, they do dust more then a true Street pad and make more noise.
Pros: streetable, tough
Cons: dusty, noisy
Vehicle:
Toyota
Powerstop ceramic. When I got my 2016 2SS I couldn't stand the brembo pads. Horrible dusting.
Cons: horrible dusting
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Camaro
