OK lets stir it up. I have a 2017 R and like many of you the dust on the front brakes was awful. So I decided to get EBC REDS. Great pad very low dust (still some) but bedding them in probably like most was a puss on reak in.
Owner reviews for brake pads
I personally use Project Mu HC+800 for their fantastic cold bite and high temp resistance.
I use the Stoptech Street Performance pads and they do a good job. ABS comes on with most 200TW tires... but I havne't tried the RE71R yet. Can't ask your brakes to do much more.
For track and autocross on my Miata I use Hawk HP+ and ATE Type 200 brake fluid. Both work really well, though the pads are likely overly aggressive for a daily driver.
I use (and like) ATE type 200 fluid and Hawk HPS or Ferodo DS2500 pads, for autox.
I run Stoptech Street Perfomance pads on my Miata and my Mustang. The Stoptech pads, from what I can tell, don't bite as hard as the Hawk pads people like to run, but they seem to be more linear in their braking response. And this might hold true for all pads, but the Stoptechs, especially on a cooler day, need a run or some sort of warm-up before they really feel good. Once they do get a bit of heat into them, they really feel nice and predictable.
I use EBC yellow and really enjoyed them. I found I wasn't able to get the pads to bed properly on a used rotor and had much better luck with a fresh rotor from EBC with my yellowstuff.
I've bought brake pads, brake calipers and rotors from Duralast (Autozone). Not one problem with them. I'd do it again in heartbeat.
Akebono euro ceramic are good, but I didn't like the lack of a linear feel to them
Ugh, somehow these pads are even dustier than the stock pads on my STI. I didn't know that was possible.
