Brake pads Brembo or Carbotech
I have a ~375whp WRX about the same weight as your car and am running Carbotech XP10 / G-loc R10 (they're the same pads) and have had no fade.When I installed my front bbk I ran the Stoptech sport pads and they were not enough, swapped to the R10s and had zero brake issues all day.
Brembo and Zimmermann are nice. Used them on a couple vehicles me and my family owned. No complaints.
Get brembo disk as well as ive noticed only pads on other disc are okay but with brembo disc and pads they have amazing stopping power i only had them installed 5 days ago im shoocked how good the brakes have become!
Compared to my old pads, which felt very mushy and all or nothing, the brembos are extremely linear but also stop a lot better, and more consistently. They aren't going to make your car an f1 car but they are excellent and what they need to do and be.
Brembo are decent in all honesty ive had them on all my cars bar 1. My nismo comes with them as standard so i just keep em on. They do a damn good job at stopping,
I installed Carbotech XP10 brake pads in the front, and they seem to work really well. When I drive the car, it will squeal sometimes when I’m not even pressing the brakes - when this happens, I can make it stop with any pressure on the brakes. I like the idea of keeping these brakes in because I like the added stopping power, and I like being ready for the track at all times.
If got the brembo pads and discs on for about 2 months now. They are good enough for the daily driving. Brake dust still a bitch
Carbotech 1521 or G-Loc GS1 (same compound). Same stopping power as stock but much more progressive, don't have that really harsh initial bite the stock ones have and make way less dust. 10/10
Over 25 track days I tried : RBF600 + stock pads -> Failed
RBF600 + powerstop -> Failed
Endless + Carbotech xp12 -> Great but wore off quick
Endless + CSG -> less bite but much more durable
I used Carbotech brake pads, but they dust and squeal like crazy, so other options may be better.
