Fitted my 2017 with new front/rear brakes and rotors yesterday. I went with the daily driver level Raybestos brand kit from Rockauto. Included both pads and rotors with hardware. Did the work myself. While I obviously can't say anything about longevity yet, performance seems good so far. Especially for the price when compared to over double for Duralast from my local AutoZone.
I did Bosch quiet cast pads and rotors on the front on my 12 a couple months back. I’m happy with them.
Brembo, bosh and a few others mentioned in another comment are all really good too.
I got the Bosche pads. I think they were in a higher category than daily but the front+back together ended up being cheaper then other brands I was looking at. Just make sure you get ones clearly labeled front or back, and Japan built.
I got BREMBO rotors and Bosch quiet cast pads, happy with the purchase.
I've had great results from Raybestos ST43s and Ferodo DS2500s for dual duty.
I'm using raybestos SP436ATRH for the pads and raybestos 96632FZN for the rotors. Been using them since January and have put about 6k on them, living in a really hilly area with my drums being basically useless because the shoes have been coated in gear oil due to an axle leak. I javent had any issues with brake fade or warping and I took them on a 2hr trip to west virginia from central ohio in March.
I was very happy with Bosch BP621 brake pads. It had excellent grip.
Just a word of caution, I ordered Bosch pads off of RockAuto and received off brand pads wrapped in shop towels in Bosch boxes. Still put them on and they're alright, but not what I bought. Wasn't worth it to me to send back. Not RockAuto's fault, they have third party suppliers. I'm sure they would have taken care of it had I cared enough
I ordered Bosch brake pads after installing them. I noticed a knocking sound and if you look in the pic there’s a gap at the top and bottom of the ears on the pad. I threw my old pads away so I couldn’t even compare them. Only when driving really slow then braking or in reverse. Didn’t do it every time but the noise is driving me crazy. I also installed new rotors front and back and it’s only the front driver side making that noise.
