Sometimes those alternatives work like K&N air filters or EBC brake pads for street use.
Two rotors=$100. Set of pads about $50. Couple wrenches, jack and jack stands.
I use EBC Green Stuff. They are organic. More brake dust, but you really can feel the stopping power.
Ebc green stuff are great so far 200 miles
EBC Red Stuff I recently did my brakes and these are really quiet and durable and great stopping power and low dust.
I went with EBC Red stuff pads just waiting on rotors.
The EBC pads (Red) that I installed 6 months or so ago have never made a peep at any time. They seemed to fit snugly in the calipers. Very happy with them mated to Zimmermann drilled rotors.
I had rears replaced at 40k. At 60k now. I’ve always had a rumbling sound and vibration when breaking from 60-55 mph (around 57) since 40k.
Ditch EBC. Discs are OK. But pads are just pure viral marketing via forums etc. Played havoc with the ABS on my GC8 Subaru when I had them (ABS kicking in actually massively increased stopping distances).
Took the Swift for a spirited drive down the horseshoe pass today, by the bottom the brakes stank, pedal went soft and stopping power became dangerously weak. Drove it softly for a mile or so and they were back to normal and I could lock the wheels again.
