Brake pads R1 Concepts or OEM Subaru
They seem good so far. I'm not very handy and I was able to put them on pretty easily.
I ran r1 concepts ceramic pads and rotors on my mk6 and they were awesome for all 4 for under $450 with a 20% off coupon on their website
Rotors were getting rusted decided to have them replaced with R1 Concepts Brake pads and Drilled/Slotted rotors. They perform a little better than the OEM with a quicker breaking point.
Got them on. Lasted for a good amount. 20k miles. Weekend track slowing from 160mph+ don’t use ceramic pads something softer would be better
I have R1 on now all around and no issues since.
Running the R1 concept with ceramic pads now and have no issues. They bite a lot better then the stock setup I had on it before.
I bought the r1 concept rotors+brake pads. They look great and have lasted for about a year no issue at all. Good quality
I haven't had AEB slam on the brakes going forward but have had distance reminders. When my bike is on rack backing up will set off the system.
Rockauto carries Dynamic Friction kits. People will say "Rockauto is cheap shit" and then recommend R1 Concepts. But Dynamic Friction OWNS R1 Concepts and all of their pads and rotors are the same. Only difference is R1 does drilled and slotting while Dynamic are just blank rotors. So you really don't have to spend the extra money on R1 stuff. Also, you don't need slotted rotors for everyday driving. Heck, even some track guys still use blanks just fine. Only thing to worry about for track is pads, which I wouldn't recommend any of the R1 stuff for. Had one of their pads claiming both track and street but their pad material on one of their pads completely disintegrated on track.
Red doesn\u2019t have much dust. Same with green. I don\u2019t recommend the R1 concepts sport pads. They are very dusty. Almost worse than stock. Bite and feel is good though.
