I had Pagid RS29s on my street driven but not daily driven car. They were great on track but holy shit the amount of noise they made on the street was almost agonizing. And the dust…. But for the feel they have on the track I would definitely buy again.
Pros: great track feel
Cons: noisy, dusty
I have a set of track pads for my 2015 STI. Hawk dtc70 in the front. Hawk dtc60 in the rear. I swap them the the day before its a pretty quick job with the brembos. Very loud on the street when cold though.
Pros: quick swap, good track performance
Cons: loud when cold
Vehicle:
Subaru

I'm in the UK and just got a good deal on Brembo disks and pads which I think are pretty good. Definitely avoid own brand stuff from parts stores. The Honda disks and pads are really good but a lot more than the Brembos cost. I also got a remanufactured genuine Nissin caliper which was remanufactured by Bendix for less than 1/3 cost of a new one.
Pros: good deal, pretty good
The best pads out there right now are the Wagner OEX pads cuz they're built on a galvanized steel backing plate with a mechanical fastening system for the friction material instead of glue. They don't rust out like plain steel pads
Pros: galvanized steel backing plate, no rust
I have changed my own pads and rotors. It’s a relatively easy job when you got the tools. Try and get akebono pads. They are ceramic pads which means clean wheel with no black dust and they dont chew on the rotors.
Pros: easy job, clean wheels
Cons: black dust
I just swapped my pads at 45k miles. $120 for front disc, 94 for rear, and $20 for some Motul 600 fluid. Cost me $250.
Pros: $250 total cost
Mileage: 45000 km
The only difference I noticed with Stoptech is more dust.
Cons: more dust
EBC yellow lasted on track day, garbage in my opinion, running Carbotech pads now, first pad that lasted a whole day at Limerock, no fade , good bite all day.
Pros: no fade, good bite
Cons: garbage, short lasting
