I went aftermarket with centric posi-quiet pads or Bosch quiet cast. Won’t ever go back to factory.
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 was very happy with Bosch BP621 brake pads. It had excellent grip.
Look on rockauto, and look for the brand called bosch, they kick ass and are oem quality
I went with Raybestos rotors and Bosch QuietCast pads. Equal if not better than OEM and much much cheaper.
There is a lot of markup on those parts. A full set of TRW pads for an S60 can be had for a little over $200 inc GST from Repco and Repco ain't cheap.
For my (owned 3 years, purchased used) 2014 Honda Crosstour I've always had to grind down the edges of the pad mounting plate tabs on Bosch brakes a couple of mm to get it to fit into the calipers. I have just received a new set, and while I still had to grind down the edges to get them to slide into the calipers, the top and bottom edges were MUCH shorter than the previous pads. So much so that when braking after reversing direction, the pads will shift in the calipers with a noticeable 'click' as the brake pads engage the disks to slow the car and are thus moved to the other end of the caliper. The overlap between the brake pad plate and the 'C' in the caliper where the tab meets the caliper is only 2mm or so. Definitely less than I am comfortable with.
