Brake pads R1 Concepts or Centric
Reviews
i went with R1 concept as well as brakes pads. Night and day difference.
Pros: night and day difference, significant improvement
Vehicle:
Toyota
I ran R1 concepts for my tc2 for over four years. An improvement over stock’s brake fading prone design. Not badly priced too
Pros: improvement over stock
Cons: brake fading prone
Lol definitely avoid duralast. My favorite combo is Centric OE coated rotors and Centric posi-quiet pads.
Pros: good combo, quiet pads
I've had really good luck after swapping to R1 Concepts pads and rotors on my Taos. no brake dust and predictable stopping.
Pros: no brake dust, predictable stopping
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Swap brake pads for your needs.
Yup. Many times. I use centric/raybestos on my race miata and on my dailies. I have been using the powerstop race pads too.

I just switched to R1 concepts Geomet pads, and drilled and slotted rotors. They're just as good as OEM from what I can tell.
Pros: as good as OEM
R1 Concepts Track Pads. I used them for my daily and occasional track. I am too lazy to swap the pads. Hella dusty tho.
Pros: suitable for daily, track
Cons: very dusty
Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Pads + Centric Premium Rotors
• Pros: Affordable, reliable, low dust
• Cons: Not a performance upgrade, but solid for daily driving
Pros: Affordable, reliable, low dust
Cons: Not a performance upgrade
I originally had r1 concepts rotors and pads but the pads started to squeak like crazy at slow speeds. Rotors were still good so I put on akebono pads and they are perfect.
Pros: they are perfect
Cons: pads started to squeak
