EBC Extra Duty pads. Noticeably better then the Akebonos they replaced.
Pros: noticeably better

I've been using powerstop track day spec pads for 5 years and aside from crazy brake dust they are the ultimate bang for buck.
Pros: ultimate bang for buck
Cons: crazy brake dust
I added the same rotors but with TRD brakes. I was satisfied with how they look and the stopping power.
Pros: satisfied with stopping power
I use powerstop z26 extreme pads and rotors. My car stops on a dime
Pros: great stopping power
I upgraded to gx460 brakes on mine and did power stop rotors and pads. Very happy with the performance. Mountain driving while fully loaded is worry free now.
Pros: worry free performance
I used to get Akebono pads for my SLK32 from RockAuto.com . Their prices were reasonable and shipping within the US was reasonable.
Pros: reasonable prices
Hawk HPS or HPS+ pads (I don't remember which I put on my R) but those were a great bang for your buck. They require a little bit more heat so I always get on them a little harder the first few braking efforts but once they are up to temp - Incredible IMO.
Pros: great value, incredible braking
Cons: needs more heat initially
I went with Hella/Pagid stock rotors. EBC red stuff pads. All the difference. That's all it took. And there is noticeably less dust on the alloys.
Pros: better braking, less dust
Get some Hawk HP+ pads and you’ll restore the balance.
They’re noisy and nasty and will ruin the wheel finish, but they grab hard.
Pros: hard grab, restores balance
Cons: noisy, nasty, ruins finish
Replaced front and rear pads with Bosch quietcast ceramic pads. Greased the back of the pads and slides. Pads squeak obnoxiously when cold. So when I roll out of my driveway and brake it’s loud. Then down the street I brake and it’s loud. But once I get rolling onto the main road and they warm up it makes no noise.
Cons: squeak when cold
