I upgraded to gx460 brakes on mine and did power stop rotors and pads. Very happy with the performance. Mountain driving while fully loaded is worry free now.
Hawk HPS or HPS+ pads (I don't remember which I put on my R) but those were a great bang for your buck. They require a little bit more heat so I always get on them a little harder the first few braking efforts but once they are up to temp - Incredible IMO.
I have a set of track pads for my 2015 STI. Hawk dtc70 in the front. Hawk dtc60 in the rear. I swap them the the day before its a pretty quick job with the brembos. Very loud on the street when cold though.
I too used Power Stop pads on my BMW and I'm happy with them. Available from Amazon and very reasonably priced.
I have them on my scat pack they work real good limited dust and I couldn’t feel any change in stopping power I did the install myself I wouldn’t want to pay the dealer either
I used powerstops on the front. I wasn’t ready for new pads but I was tired of the squeaking that was coming from the basic pads I had. I switched to powerstops and they stopped squeaking and like someone else said the dusting wasn’t anywhere near as bad.
I just did my 2018 Front pads & rotors at 56k. -As others have done I chose Powerstop Evolution drilled, slotted & Ceramic Pads from Rock Auto
Just put on new rotors and Hawk pads. Thought I had some squeaking/squealing/grinding because the old ones needed replacing but the problem persisted on the new rotors and pads even after some time.
Last week I applied some Brake Parts Grease that came with my Hawk pads to the pins and bracket on the caliper. It seems to have removed the annoying squeak!!
I only daily as well but I did a slight upgrade due to some spirited runs each year. I did Hawk ceramics and DBA T2 rotors. Theyre enjoyably different but likely overkill.
From my personal experience with the hawk hps pads, stay away from them. Absolutely garbage past normal operating temperatures. They were however quiet and low dust.
