I run pagid rsl29 (yellow) and i have been a big fan -- but it seems like you either love them or hate them, no in between.I still have over 75% brake pad left after 11 days on track-- with that said, factory brake cooling is pretty good on my car's front brakes (M2 Competition). I think most folks whom have issues have inadequate cooling which leads to very high temps, which the rsl29 do not like
Pagid have done me surprisingly well on track days.
With pagid discs and pads i have never had this issue.
I swapped my FJ cruiser stock front brakes for the larger GX460/V8 4Runner discs, calipers, and shields, as well as adding stainless lines as a nice upgrade package.
recently went to brakemasters to get brake pads for my 2014 rav 4. Set of front brake pads only ( 4 pads) with labor total $180.
Man I love my old Corolla. $20 for front brake pads and a half hour of relaxing wrenching to do the job.
I put in Hella pagid. They are fantastic
I have Pagid RSL29 pads and ATE 200 fluid on Hankook RS4s -- I don't worry too much about brake fade unless it's peak Texas summer heat, in which case I'm managing engine and tire temperature with cool down laps anyway.
Honestly, avoid brembo. I think I have pagid on my golf GTi currently as they needed doing and I couldn't get anything else. I drive that hard and not really had any real issues unless really pushing it.
I'd go Pagid because they're a familiar brand. Had some Eicher pads that left really awful dust and were quite loud under gentle braking, lasted 5k miles before I gave up and swapped them out.
