Brake pads Centric or ENDLESS
I run Endless SS-Y’s on the street, and have never had to clean brake dust off my wheels even when running white ones. They’re fantastic
Pros: fantastic, low brake dust
I use endless me20's on my FL5. i've had no issues with it on the street, and is obviously a very very good track pad primarily. if you're fine with a little squeal, these are good imo.
Pros: very good track pad
Cons: a little squeal
Vehicle:
Honda
I’m using Endless CCrG pads on street and track. I have done 5 track days this year at 3 different tracks and daily drive my car and they have held up really good and have no noise or anything on the street.
Pros: held up really good, no noise
Cons: less initial bite
Funny but I gave the Centric brand ceramic pads a shot and did not see any difference with Akebono. Same bute, no dust, no esting rotors. Been about 5 weeks now and abiut 1000 miles. No issues
Pros: same bite, no dust
Cons: no difference with Akebono
Mileage: 1000 km
on Endless CCrG pads , OEM discs and good fluid with stock brakes it took me multiple HARD stops with ABS engaging from 100-0k to get the pads to be even warm.
Pros: good heat dissipation, prevents brake fade
I run Endless ME20 on my E92 (it has an F80 brakes retrofit) and they work great. Done 12 track days now on the set and they still have over 50% material left, but I'm on my 2nd set of track tyres. Not all the track days have been full-on though.
Pros: work great, good longevity
Vehicle:
BMW
Endless MX-72s are a good example.
Pros: good track duty
Cons: drives you nuts
Vehicle:
Toyota
The MK7 R community seems to like Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Though I had a love-hate relationship on them. Centric claims no bedding was necessary... so, I listened to them and found the lack of braking dangerous. Then, one late night, on an empty highway, I bedded them in with about 10, 70-5 mph medium to hard slow downs, got the rotors heated up and brake pads smelling... then drove on the highway for about half hour, then turned around and went home and let the brakes completely cool. Then I loved the brakes.
Pros: loved the brakes
Cons: lack of braking dangerous
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
I've had Centric pads and rotors on the back (90944519) for 5 years and 40,000 miles. They're ok, but they're much noisier than OEM and tend to grab/groan at very low speed.
Pros: ok performance, long lasting
Cons: noisy, grabby at low speed
Mileage: 40000 km
Part number: 90944519
Endless pads which create a absurd amount of dust and also has a lot of noise under low breaking driving.
Cons: absurd dust, lots of noise
