Brake pads Bendix or Duralast
I have Dynamic friction 5000 low metallic pads on my 21 3.3 G70 RWD and love them, better bite but dust a bit more than OEM but no brake judder for the 5k miles I've had them on so far.
Pros: better bite, no brake judder
Cons: dusts more than OEM
Mileage: 5000 km
I've been using Dynamic Friction 1000141300 track pads from Rockauto. They've seen 6 or 7 track days now and have work really well without overheating. They also do fine on the street.
Pros: work really well, no overheating
Part number: 1000141300
I have the Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads and they've been a nice improvement. Have no brake judder, better bite, and a bit more dusting from the pads (great tradeoff IMO).
Pros: nice improvement, better bite
Cons: more dusting
Duralast gold rotors and elite brake pads. Great price and performance. If they wear out too early - free replacement. If they wear out just fine - you got your money’s worth.
Pros: Great price, good performance
I use Dynamic Friction low-metallic 5000 pads, bite better but dust more than OEM, been working well thus far.
Pros: good bite
Cons: more dust
I went with Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads and they've been great!
Pros: great performance
Sure OEM pads and calipers can stop a loaded truck on the street, but what about when your loaded truck is on a long downhill rough trail? Your brakes get very hot and you can get brake fade and too much heat can damage components, warp rotors, etc (especially after hot brakes meet cool puddle or creek crossing). I went with Dynamic Friction Ultimate Duty pads and I am glad I did because i hit a bunch of those downhill trails the next trip and they got hot, could smell them, but no brake fade and no issues since.
Pros: no brake fade, no issues
Replaced the rears with Duralast Elites today. They are a bit louder (you can hear the pad dragging on the rotor inside the car). Maybe they will not be as loud as they break in.
Cons: bit louder
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
2023 Taos I'm at 25k miles and rear rotors and brakes need replacement. metal on metal destroyed the rotors.
Cons: destroyed rotors, metal on metal

Mileage: 25000 km
Driving a Saga MT 2024. Switched from the stock brakepads to Bendix Metal King's. Drove up and down Genting roads quite often, but damn, the braking grips are not what was advertised, and made worse during rainy days. Luckily I drove a manual transmission saga, so I could balanced out braking hard with employing low gear, to cater to a proper sudden stop, especially going downhill, with all the speed bumps up there. And the brake dust? Lord! It's like I painted my wheels with paint, each time I got home.
Cons: poor grip, excessive dust
