I would stick to oem or hawk pads.

Best things I did for my g80 was 1) Mishimoto skid plate to protect my oil cooler 2)Ceramic brake pads because the red dust that will engulf the lower half of your car after a 1/2 mile drive is insane.
Pros: less dust
Cons: red dust
Vehicle:

My biggest wish is for parts to have REALISTIC Damage... For example... BRAKE Pads, those are commonly made with metal and ceramics, as far as I know... Ceramics do not rust? So my wish is for the game to have a realistic wear and tear mechanics... Not just rusty looking.
Pros: realistic wear and tear
Cons: not just rusty looking
I felt the stock 4th gen brake pads didn't grip as tight as would be expected on a 4 caliper brake system. So I replaced them with Bosch ceramic brakes. Highly recommend this to any of yall who feel the same.
If you slam on the brakes above 40 mph (when it is clear and safe to do so), you can feel the blood rush to your face.
Pros: tighter grip, improved braking
Cons: stock pads insufficient grip
Vehicle:
Toyota
Especially if you've got a 2019+ Mk7.5, stock Performance Pack brakes will be plenty. That's what I brought to the Dragon. Just make sure your brake fluid is good and you're not due for new pads and rotors for a bit.
Pros: stock brakes are plenty
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Akebonos are a good, quiet, low cost, and low dust option for the street. They also get rid of the annoying "bite" that the original pads have. They're a much more progressive pad. Don't try to track them though.
Pros: good, quiet, low cost
Cons: don't track them
Vehicle:
BMW
Pacific Mazda has been okay; they only pushed an unnecessary break maintenance so far.
Cons: unnecessary maintenance
Needs brakes and suspension. Need new pads and rotors front and back and new calipers front and back as well, car is from a rust state and are pretty rusty. Needs new shocks all around as well since they're blown. With parts no labor I priced everything around 800 bucks.
Cons: rusty, shocks are blown
Vehicle:
Toyota Avalon
The new GM's will brick too if you don't use the fancy sps login to reset the module when you change pads. It literally will brick the caliper, and you can't fix it, have to replace the whole thing AND you can't reprogram them, they are also vin locked permanently.
Pros: no junkyard parts
Cons: caliper brick, vin locked
If im being completetly honest. A nissan gtr nismo. I had a track day for my highschool graduation, the breaks on it didnt feel the best.
Cons: brakes didn't feel best
Vehicle:
Nissan
