I put in cheap ceramic genuine Brembo pads in my Kia, stops on a dime.
The AP Racing kit was installed with a set of Ferodo DS2500s in the front and stock OEM pads installed fresh in the rear.
I did tons of research and settled on Ferodo DS3.12 (FCP4425G) in front and DS1.11 (FCP4697W) rear with Castrol SRF fluid. Stock R calipers and rotors have held up as well as any aftermarkets I read about for MUCH less $. Zero issues, and cheap.
I've had good results with Ferodo DS2500 pads. More torque than stock, dusting about the same.
A popular way to get bigger brakes on your Honda civic is taking the brembos from an Acura TL.
I love the Ferodo DS 1.11 that I use on my M4. They're noisy and the dust is epic but they're totally fine to drive to and from the track. I've used them at a few track days at California Speedway, they're wearing really well, and I've never had even the slightest fade.
The OEM brembo pads and rotors on my Subaru would leave a lot of buildup for sure. A couple good hard brakes and it was clear.
I replaced all brake pads and rotors about a month ago on my 2014 Honda Civic EX with Brembo pads and rotors. So far they're working great, huge improvement over the warped front rotors and the warn pads before.
For my 987 the pagids would squeal the most. PFC08 weren’t as bad with similar performance. If you want a hybrid street/track pad that will be pretty quiet on the street (as long as you bed properly) the Ferodo DS2500 is not bad, just be aware if you’re tracking on them at a good pace under heavy braking they can wear quickly. I ran them at the glen and was able to get maybe 3 good days out of a set.
My brakes are starting to squeak so I contacted my local Subaru dealership to get quoted on my front brakes as the rear are still in good condition. They quoted me for $1200 to replace the brembo pads and rotors as they insisted that drilled rotors need to be replaced EVERY TIME you change the brake pads as they cannot be resurfaced.
