Brake pads EBC or Duralast
Depending on your engine (taking the 2.0 turbo petrol as an example) EBC do a kit for all pads and disks for £506.57 including VAT.
I have ebc red stuff on my car. They produce dust but stop very well
If you want less brake dust then EBC Red Stuff. I ran them on my 435i and I am running them on my M4. They are fast road pads, not track pads. But they work well and there is pretty much no dust.
I use centric high carbon rotor blanks and EBC reds. They're great, although not quite zero dust theyre less than stock. Very grabby in the cold though, worse than stock for that.
I use EBC Red Stuff. They have excellent modulation. EBC's website says that they are lower dust and last longer than Green Stuff.
Get you some Nitto NT555s, Caltracs traction bars, steeda lowering springs, GT500 swaybars, GT500 Fuel Pump, and a good set of brake rotors and pads from either Powerstop or EBC.
As an EBC Red owner myself. These pads are not built for abuse. Like at all. They're a sporty street pad at best.
I’ve got EBC blue stuff on my Chrysler 300 (weights like 4400lbs) with EBC slotted rotors. The factory pads were quite easy to overheat to where you can feel a decrease in braking performance, by the time I installed the EBC pads, the factory pads and rotors pulsated. With the EBC blue stuff pads I have yet to feel them fade (no track use). Some downsides, they dust like crazy, my chrome wheels are a dull gray in just a few days. Additionally they sometimes squeak and squeal, they also feel a little worse than factory pads for initial bite when it’s really cold out such as 20f. Lastly they aren’t supposed to last all that long.
Only pad I've had torque change on was EBC yellow, once it gets close to backing plate the brake torque drops off a cliff, I suspect it's the adhesive they used
don't do the Yellowstuff unless you are on board with a LOT of brake dust.
