DIXCEL › Brake pads

Team-Redundancy-Team 22 Oct 2025, 00:25

Rating 5.0

Dust:

Dixcel M-Type are the least dusty street pad I've ever used. A little pricey and straight from Japan, but they aren't kidding when they advertise "ultra low dust". Have about 1500 miles on them so far and they're great on the street and for the occasional togue/mountain days.

Pros: ultra low dust, great street

Cons: a little pricey

Vehicle: Honda Civic

Mileage: 2414 km

If you want upgraded pads. Try HAWK 5.0 pads. You can't go wrong with a better initial bit, better response and shorter stopping distance.

Pros: better initial bit, better response

Cons: may make noise

I changed over to Bendix and it has literally lasted more than twice as long. In fact they’re still on my Corolla after 60,000kms.

Pros: long lasting

Vehicle: Toyota Corolla

Mileage: 60000 km

I very briefly ran what is probaly the last set of NISMO R-tune pads, track use compound, which has a very high metallic content.

it had absurd stopping power even at 0°C and is a stellar dual use compound.

Pros: absurd stopping power

Surprisingly, R1 Concepts Track Pads. They have been really great on the track (3800lb/310hp? car).

I left them on my daily since I am too lazy to change out the pads and they have been on for about 6 months and a few track days. They are great for the street and track but dusty as hell. They only make noise when it’s cold outside other wise they are fine.

Pros: great for street and track

Cons: dusty as hell, noise when cold

Hawk Performance › Brake pads

Braking:

The brakes suck. Kind of makes me think they just need to be bled, or the ABS pump needs to be cycled and bled via OBD2 scanner. I ordered SS lines, Hawk pads, and fluid to fix it.

Cons: brakes suck

Vehicle: Jeep Wrangler
