vs
Brake pads R1 Concepts or ENDLESS
Reviews
Me20, expensive but lasts a while even on heavier cars, and almost no squeal on street
Pros: lasts a while, almost no squeal
Cons: expensive
I might get scolded by the purest, but I went with these R1 Concepts on my 2019 X5.\n\nI too was shocked when the dealer quoted over 2k for brakes, so I started looking at options. I\u2019ve had them for about two years, they have performed excellent and they look amazing.
Pros: performed excellent, look amazing
Vehicle:
BMW X5
Mods:
* Endless ME-20 track pads
Vehicle:
BMW M2
How is the brake dust with the Endless pads?
Try R1 concepts , it got my respect as it almost helped me escape a few accidents in the last 3 months
Pros: helped escape accidents
I just swapped to Endless ME20 for my non-daily, but it's not obnoxiously loud, I could see myself daily driving it.
Pros: not obnoxiously loud, suitable for daily
Vehicle:
BMW
I would suggest going to [www.buybrakes.com](http://www.buybrakes.com) and get the R1 Concepts pads for the front and rear. The ones Rockauto has growl a little bit.
Pros: good quality
Cons: growl a little bit
Vehicle:
Hyundai Genesis
I slapped in some r1 concepts pads and rotors on both of my Subarus after the oem ones kept warping.
Cons: oem ones kept warping
Vehicle:
Subaru
