On my particular vehicle, the front pads and rear pads have a friction code of GG. I am currently running the Akebobo ASP performance brake pads and have been completely satisfied and impressed with the performance.
Akebono are top tier.
Akebono Proact pads have fantastic modulation and very low dist. I HATE brake dust.
I've been using EBC pads for a while now with a couple brands in between and EBC just seems to have some of the best bang-for-buck.
My use-case is daily driving and spirited weekend drives, so I can't comment on more aggressive or track use. I know some folks really don't like them for serious track cars so be mindful of that.
I decided to replace the pads with Akebonos. Following the installation of the rear pads only, I pumped the brakes 3x’s and both me and my brakes got hard. :-)
I've been using these on my '19 PP MT and have noticed a pretty good difference! However, I paired them with the EBC Redstuff pads.
The rotors are amazing, I've been running them for 4 years now but those pads are absolute trash especially in the rain.
Had Greenstuff prior and honestly liked more. I'll be using Greenstuff again next time
I'm at just about 25,000 miles and the brakes are starting to feel a little worn out. I'm thinking of upgrading the pads (rotors aren't in the budget right now) and was looking at the EBC Redstuff ones. Probably shoulda gone with the power stops but since it’s a small upgrade I figured the extra money is worth it.
Nope, they don’t fit whatsoever. Return them. The correct pads have 2 holes on the top corners, which are for the pad retaining pins unique to the 2IS rear calipers. The 3IS went back to the standard floating caliper design, for which these pads MIGHT fit. These pads you picked up are guaranteed to not fit your 2IS.
