Did the front / rear rotors and pads myself with Power Stop kit. Excellent upgrade and with 30k miles on them have tons of life left.
Pros: excellent upgrade, long life
Mileage: 30000 km

I went with hawk 5.0 pads, they dust wayyyyy less than stock. Bite and stopping power feels just as good.
Pros: less dust, good bite
Bought Akebono pads from Tire Rack...Took a test drive, and found the results to be excellent. Felt great, super quiet. The Akebono pads do not require any bed-in, so just drive off normally
Pros: felt great, super quiet
Akebono pads and brembo rotors avail at fcp/ecs - best combination I’ve had so far and I’ve tried textar, pagid and trw, (trw is a close second but more dust than akebono)
Pros: best combination, low dust
Cons: more dust than Akebono
For daily driving, EBC Redstuff are perfectly capable and inexpensive.
Pros: inexpensive, capable

When I replaced the front pads and rotors, I went with the same OEM rotors from Brembo but upgraded to Project Mu Type NS-C pads. I have not yet swapped rears but I can see that there is significantly less dust with Project Mu pads and no squeal. Stopping power is great and I havent had issues.
Pros: less dust, no squeal, great stopping power
Stop tech sports pads, from my experience it bites great. Same amount of dust as brembo. I have tracked them lots of times, great for daily too
Pros: great bite, low dust
I used Power Stop Z261440 and Z261807 for a year with good results. Low dust, no squeaking
Pros: low dust, no squeaking
Part number: Z261440, Z261807
I'm running EBC Yellows on my 15 WRX now, so similar in curb weight. Not great for a daily IMO. They squeal pretty bad and the dust build up is pretty significant. Have about 15K miles and 2 autocrosses on them and they perform great. Good bite when cold and even better if they get warmed up.
Pros: good bite, performs great
Cons: squeals, significant dust
Vehicle:
Subaru
Mileage: 15000 km
Red doesn\u2019t have much dust. Same with green. I don\u2019t recommend the R1 concepts sport pads. They are very dusty. Almost worse than stock. Bite and feel is good though.
Pros: Bite and feel is good
Cons: very dusty
