Brake pads ENDLESS or OEM BMW
on my old brz with PP Brembos i really liked the endless super street type S pads. there are even better pads by endless depending on your application, like the MX series someone else mentioned. I only dailied my car and did a couple hard backroads drives a month maybe. but it felt great any time, and even more when the pads were up to temp.
Pros: great feel, good bite
Vehicle:
Subaru BRZ
My favorite is still the endless mx72/mx72plus, not the most aggressive pad out there but they warm up extremely quick and for street cars the added bonus of surprisingly small amount of brake dust
Pros: quick warm-up, low dust
Cons: not aggressive
I’ve been told by some very experienced S2000 drivers that this is the best braking setup outside of a BBK. It’s streetable as well, if you don’t mind a bit squeaking. Make sure to burnish/bed the pads in beforehand for better performance.
Pros: best braking setup, streetable
Cons: a bit squeaking
Vehicle:
Honda S2000
I just bought pads, rotors and sensors. Went with BMW branded, lifetime replacement warranty makes it a no brainier.
Pros: lifetime warranty
Vehicle:
BMW
Used them twice. Both times had excellent speedy service for a good price. Both times were brakes on my 3 series (front discs and pads, then rears). Saved a significant chunk of cash.
Pros: excellent speedy service, good price
Vehicle:
BMW
I’ve tried a lot of pads on my ‘18 tS, and by far the best have been Endless SSY. They’re great on the track, grip great, but are also silent and almost dust-free.
Pros: grip great, silent
Cons: difficult to find, pricey
Genuine BMW pads and discs only. Driven 200k miles in my beamers. Even the e46 gets genuine BMW factory brakes. My 640i got new genuine discs and pads about a year or 2 ago. (£550 in parts, £80 labour).
Pros: long lasting, good feel
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 200000 km
My understanding is that the pads that bmw uses create a lot of brake dust because they are ‘soft’ to give a nice smooth pedal feel.
Pros: smooth pedal feel
Cons: lots of brake dust
Same here. I basically drive a few times per week and clean the wheels at least twice!
Cons: lots of brake dust
Vehicle:
BMW
But seriously, having owned several BMW's and Porsche products (equally bad for brake dust) I've just gotten used to cleaning wheels more often and ignoring dirty wheels when I don't have time or energy to clean them that day.
Cons: lots of brake dust
