4 years ago I had my daughter, before taking my 2008 Mazda 6 back to college with her, install new Brembo "OE"/standard type pad sets front and rear and new Brembo rotors in the front. The front pads and rotors were so thick that the caliper piston cups had to be ENTIRELY retracted into the pistons to fit over them. After completion of the job and the performance of the pad/rotor break-in procedure, the already capable car was turned into a braking performance monster. It was like if you depressed the brake pedal a millimeter the car would start to decelerate markedly! And rapid stops were unbelievable quick and drama free. So I absolutely recommend Brembo products (have installed Brembo pads on 2 SUVs as well) and have always been impressed with the results!!
Pros: braking performance monster, quick stops, drama free
Cons: slight squeal on light braking
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mileage: 50000 km
In short: support your local motor factors, and buy Mintex brakes and pads. I've a 107 and the Mintex pads/brakes have been brilliant.
Pros: brilliant brakes, excellent pads
Personally, I’m a fan of Ferodo, but I typically need to get them from the UK.
Pros: fan of Ferodo
Using ATE rotors and ceramic pads on my mk6. Very little dust. Still has very good bite compared to other standard OEM pads.
Pros: very little dust, good bite
I use Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. Definitely an improvement over stock and I haven’t had any issues with dust.
Pros: improvement over stock, no dust issues
I was on the hunt for a facelift LT1 car and specifically went after a 95 for the stock bigger brakes and a few other things. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend.
Pros: bigger brakes, happy purchase
Vehicle:
Chevrolet Corvette C4
Mileage: 8000 km
I kept stock rotors and just upgraded the pads to EBC RedStuff. From my internet searching, I determined that rotors weren't worth it unless I planned on tracking the car, which I don't. Someone else mentioned noise in comparing Red vs Yellow, and that was part of what swayed me toward Red (I think Red also has a longer life and/or less dust).
Pros: longer life, less dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Gol
On any modern BMW model those pads make the pedal noticeably softer, to the point where it almost feels like air in the lines. I've swapped many sets out due to clients being unhappy with the feel. Works fine on older ones though.
Cons: soft pedal feel, air in lines
I have the ebc reds they are good but smh at the people saying they are not dusty. they are worst pads i have ever had for producing dust.
Pros: they are good
Cons: worst pads for dust
Vehicle:
Audi TT
