Brake pads DBA or Duralast
I have Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads, better bite than ceramics and no brake judder.
Pros: better bite, no judder
I recently got the dynamic friction rotors and pad kit to replace the oem rears and I like them so far. It’s only been about 500 miles, but in my opinion are a little better at stopping compared to the oem. Plus the price was really good.
Pros: better stopping, good price
Mileage: 500 km
Duralast stuff is fine. Their pads are fine. Their pads also have a lifetime warranty through AutoZone.
Pros: lifetime warranty
Vehicle:
Subaru
I went with Dynamic Friction instead after hearing lots of negative feedback, so far very happy 6 mo later. I drive fast and they stop very well. Does produce quite a bit of brake dust though.
Pros: stops very well
Cons: brake dust
I have Dynamic friction 5000 low metallic pads on my 21 3.3 G70 RWD and love them, better bite but dust a bit more than OEM but no brake judder for the 5k miles I've had them on so far.
Pros: better bite, no brake judder
Cons: dusts more than OEM
Mileage: 5000 km
I've been using Dynamic Friction 1000141300 track pads from Rockauto. They've seen 6 or 7 track days now and have work really well without overheating. They also do fine on the street.
Pros: work really well, no overheating
Part number: 1000141300
I've got DBA street performance pads and slotted rotors on my 2018 Outback. Not sure what their availability may be to you, but they carry a good reputation down under.
Pros: good reputation
Vehicle:
Subaru Outback
Replaced the rears with Duralast Elites today. They are a bit louder (you can hear the pad dragging on the rotor inside the car). Maybe they will not be as loud as they break in.
Cons: bit louder
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
2023 Taos I'm at 25k miles and rear rotors and brakes need replacement. metal on metal destroyed the rotors.
Cons: destroyed rotors, metal on metal
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 25000 km
I installed rear DBA ceramic pads and rear TRW ceramic discs last weekend and after a week I’m seeing these aggressive scratch channels circled in red. I do hear a constant scraping while driving without braking.
Cons: constant scraping while driving
