If you DIY and have the tools I did front and rear brakes on my 340i with brembos for $725ish
I have 45k miles on my 2016 STI and just replaced all 4 rotors and pads with another set of Brembos. I don’t drive the car particularly hard and probably could have waited a bit longer but they are done now so I shouldn’t have to worry about them. Cost me about 1k all-in, parts and labor.
I just put some Brembro low met pads on out SQ5. They are more progressive bite, but I like them better than the Hawk HPS 5.0 on my S4. When you get on them they stop very well. Not sure on dust yet.
Stoptech street performance (I believe renamed to Stoptech sport) has always been my go-to for spirited driving and track day use in a miata. In faster heavier cars, I use carbotechs for track days, but that's just overkill for a miata.
I recently installed Brembo pads. It cost around £150 for the whole set (1 pair at the back, 2 pairs for the front). But the new ones are day and night difference. It's now super sharp with amazing modulation.
Brembo pads are better than oem and cheaper through rock auto. Recommend oem rotors though.
We use (and sell / stock) the Brembo rotors and sport (HP2000) pads. Better performance than stock, perfectly streetable and equally capable for track days or tarmac rally. Great value too
I had EBCs on my 2010 for about 40k miles and liked them. Switched to brembos 2 weeks ago and they aren’t as good. They’ll last longer though I’m sure with less dust. I wouldn’t say it’s overkill, it’s a big vehicle and you can’t put a premium on stopping faster especially if you do any towing.
Mine squeal sometimes at 5-15mph. Stock Brembo pads too.
For breaks, I will actually advise against the OEM stuff, because it’s really not that great, especially if you have the Brembo package. There are significantly better pads out there, the Brembo ones are hot garbage.
