Brake pads Brembo or WAGNER
My favorite is Wagner OEX pads. They're build on galvanized steel and the friction material is mechanically attached instead of glued on.
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,
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
I just snagged some brembo pads rotors from fcp and saved myself almost 50% compared to dealer pricing AT MY COST, and the brembos are also an upgrade. Oh did I mention they have lifetime warranty?
if you're after brands of parts, the go to ones are Brembo, EBC, Pagid, ATE, Bosch, and TRW.
Wagner OEX or Bosch Quietcast
Both are ceramic brake pads that will last longer. Brake fade is experienced in all brakes used excessively but it takes a lot longer in ceramic pads. The only draw back is stopping distance is slightly increase when cold but when warm it's decreased. Bonus is they produce less dust & its very light in color so your wheels look cleaner.
Mine squeal sometimes at 5-15mph. Stock Brembo pads too.
I replaced the front brake pads on the F56 LCI2 Cooper S with Active cruise control and bought the Brembo P06 093. The pads seems to be a bit smaller than the OE ones so sometimes they make noise on rough roads. They also came without the back part to cover the caliper piston and they make an awful amount of dust.
