Brake pads ENDLESS or OEM KIA
on Endless CCrG pads , OEM discs and good fluid with stock brakes it took me multiple HARD stops with ABS engaging from 100-0k to get the pads to be even warm.
Pros: good heat dissipation, prevents brake fade
I run Endless ME20 on my E92 (it has an F80 brakes retrofit) and they work great. Done 12 track days now on the set and they still have over 50% material left, but I'm on my 2nd set of track tyres. Not all the track days have been full-on though.
Pros: work great, good longevity
Vehicle:
BMW
Endless MX-72s are a good example.
Pros: good track duty
Cons: drives you nuts
Vehicle:
Toyota
I reckon Endless MX72+ are the go for daily driving or Project Mu.
Endless mx72 are really good as a no noise hybrid pad. I recently switched my fronts to endless me20 for a more task focused pad and they have great feel and no fade. Much noisier but that's to be expected.
Pros: great feel, no fade
Cons: noisy
Vehicle:
MAN
I get mine for my AZ swift sport from RHD Japan. 3 track days and no fade etc. no squealing. A bit of dust. Endless CCrG. If you’re not tracking it then get Endless MX72+ Or Project Mu HC+ Locally you may be able to get EBC yellow stuff.
Pros: no fade, no squealing
Cons: a bit of dust
Vehicle:
Suzuki Swift
I'm running Endless MX87s on my WRX. They work really well for autocross and are streetable. Little noisy when cold, but never had any issues driving to and from events, even in traffic
Pros: works well for autocross, streetable
Cons: noisy when cold
Vehicle:
Subaru
I changed my wife's KIA Soul pads at 60k miles. Used OEM pads. Checked a month or two ago and they were still halfway through. She is at 200k miles.
Pros: long lasting
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
Mileage: 60000 km
Lastly, I had the well-known brake pad deposit problem on the rotors, which over time (about 5-6k miles for me) would cause the steering wheel and car to shake a bit when breaking, similar to the feeling you get when the rotors are warped. I had the rotors cut once, then all four rotors and pads replaced, and then the front rotors were replaced again. As many other Stinger owners online have said, once they replaced the stock rotors and pads with a good set of aftermarket rotors and pads, or some even just machining their stock rotors and getting new aftermarket pads, that seems to have solved the issue for them.
Pros: aftermarket pads solved issue
Cons: brake pad deposit problem
Vehicle:
Kia
Mileage: 20700 km
Factory tires are garbage, but good all seasons and it gets around in the snow fairly well. My rear brake pad that had little wear, fell apart while driving in the mountains around the same time ( not covered ), I have never seen or heard of this happening before here or on other vehicles.
Pros: good all seasons
Cons: factory tires garbage
Vehicle:
Kia Soul
