Brake pads GALFER or Duralast
I have Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads, better bite than ceramics and no brake judder.
Pros: better bite, no judder
I recently got the dynamic friction rotors and pad kit to replace the oem rears and I like them so far. It’s only been about 500 miles, but in my opinion are a little better at stopping compared to the oem. Plus the price was really good.
Pros: better stopping, good price
Mileage: 500 km
Duralast stuff is fine. Their pads are fine. Their pads also have a lifetime warranty through AutoZone.
Pros: lifetime warranty
Vehicle:
Subaru
I went with Dynamic Friction instead after hearing lots of negative feedback, so far very happy 6 mo later. I drive fast and they stop very well. Does produce quite a bit of brake dust though.
Pros: stops very well
Cons: brake dust
I have Dynamic friction 5000 low metallic pads on my 21 3.3 G70 RWD and love them, better bite but dust a bit more than OEM but no brake judder for the 5k miles I've had them on so far.
Pros: better bite, no brake judder
Cons: dusts more than OEM
Mileage: 5000 km
I've been using Dynamic Friction 1000141300 track pads from Rockauto. They've seen 6 or 7 track days now and have work really well without overheating. They also do fine on the street.
Pros: work really well, no overheating
Part number: 1000141300
I have the Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads and they've been a nice improvement. Have no brake judder, better bite, and a bit more dusting from the pads (great tradeoff IMO).
Pros: nice improvement, better bite
Cons: more dusting
Duralast gold rotors and elite brake pads. Great price and performance. If they wear out too early - free replacement. If they wear out just fine - you got your money’s worth.
Pros: Great price, good performance
Replaced the rears with Duralast Elites today. They are a bit louder (you can hear the pad dragging on the rotor inside the car). Maybe they will not be as loud as they break in.
Cons: bit louder
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
Go with the Galfer synthetic and that too will be burnt under 4k km, I have changed twice already in 10k.
Cons: burns under 4k km
Mileage: 10000 km
