Brake pads R1 Concepts or Duralast
Reviews
A few weeks ago I replaced the front pads and rotors on my ‘21 grand touring. I got Duralast Gold rotors and Duralast Elite brake pads from Autozone. An independent repair shop installed them. They are working fine. I decided to purchase from Autozone for the warranty, which is lifetime on the pads and 3 years on the rotors.
Pros: working fine, lifetime warranty
Vehicle:
Mazda
I had the same problem. Just ordered ceramic pads from auto zone and swapped them out. Car is smooth and quiet now. I can’t stress enough the difference it makes for anyone dealing with the noisy rough brakes.
Pros: smooth, quiet brakes
Cons: noisy, rough brakes
Part number: DG2074 AND 2255
I bought Dynamic Friction for my wife’s car and have been happy with them.
Pros: happy with them
I have Dynamic Friction 5000 low metallic pads, better bite than ceramics and no brake judder.
Pros: better bite, no judder
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
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

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
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
2023 Taos I'm at 25k miles and rear rotors and brakes need replacement. metal on metal destroyed the rotors.
Cons: destroyed rotors, metal on metal
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 25000 km
