Brake pads OEM Nissan or OEM KIA
I have a friend with a near-identicle Zenki to mine, his is powered by a built single turbo rb26. He's making well in excess of 700whp and the z32s are plenty of brake for him as a point of reference.
Brake inspection during the tire rotation, replace as needed (haven't needed to yet thanks to regenerative braking - I'm at 62k and I think I have OEM brakes).
Here's my side-badged 15 Fit.

With a 20% off coupon, it was only $40 more than the other shop, and I got OEM parts. That was almost 3 years ago, and the brakes are still stopping smooth.
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.
Nissan brakes are on this squeak train as well. We barely have a remedy for it, other than ‘regreasing’ them. I tell my customers that the pads are designed with materials for better braking and less dust, at the cost of noisy brakes when cold.
2x som menil brzdy, oba razy za cca €400.
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.
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.
break pads don't last very long
