Brake pads EBC or POWER STOP
Have the powerstop z36 on my gen 1. Next to non brake dust compared to the oem pads/rotors
Ebc yellow stuff pads are pretty nice. Got em on my NB. Wouldn’t hurt to replace your pads with those. Break in process asks for new rotors but you can probably get away without em if you really don’t wanna do it, I did.
Power Stop pads and rotors on my Ram 1500 are the best setup I have ever had. Nearly zero dust and consistent braking.
I put ultimax on my 3, and I can stop on a dime.
I used PowerStop (cross drilled) when I did my brakes two years ago. They seem pretty good.
I have Power Stop brakes on both my Miata (Z26) and my 3 (Z17). Been on for about 45k km on the 3 and 20k km on the Miata. Absolutely fantastic brakes... The Miata gets driven hard and the brakes have been flawless and powerful. The 3 is a daily driver and the brakes are better than OEM, but not to the point where they'd change the character of the car.
I put Powerstop geomet brakes on my '15 over the winter and they have been solid. I've been pretty happy. They also don't look rusty at all so far.
I installed PowerStop Drilled & Slotted Rotors with PowerStop Pads on my front brake setup. VERY powerful brakes and never had any issues with dust, noise, etc.
I've been using my SR11s for nearly a year now for few trackdays and some street events. I'm getting tired of SR11s downhill usage more and more since it won't hold and lose brakes so I have to be really careful. Also it seems a bit inconsistent for daily usage/semi-fast touge style drives. Some days it's the best thing ever but somedays it feels like the brake pad is dead.
I have personally ran these rotors with EBC HH pads. I blued them on my first track day and swapped to used OEMs before the next. They felt fine as far as bite but the immediate bluing shows they’re not up to any amount of real heat. If I ran them for a track day or two more they surely would’ve faded badly and warped. I don’t recommend them.
