Brake pads STOPTECH or Bendix
I’ve been using Bendix metal king for my car, it outperforms stock pads from Toyota by a lot. For context, I’m from Sabah; under normal driving conditions and without another driver in front basically keeping their foot on the brake pedal. Our steepest mountainous road is Kimanis, gradients ranging from 10% to 25%; it handled the descend perfectly without fading as compared to stock pads. Traversing to-and-fro Kundasang was also a breeze, brakes would typically fade half-way down the mountain with minor traffic ahead. I’m looking to switch to Bendix Ultimate come time to change my brake pads. Though I have to agree with the brake dust, but if you wash your car once a week then it shouldn’t be that awful.
Pros: outperforms stock, good fade resistance
Cons: excessive brake dust
It's a solid pedal feel.
Pros: solid pedal feel
To me it looks like brake pad material on your rotors due to your street pads melting. Slap a new set a cheap pads on there from Autozone or something and drive it for a week or two that material should come off. As long as you don’t have vibration while braking they should still be good. Just make sure to use track pads next time. I personally run StopTech 309 pads because they’re good on track and street
Pros: good on track and street
Cons: street pads melting
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza WRX
I got Stoptech Sport pads that I've used on track and street for many years.
Pros: used on track, used on street
I run StopTech Sport pads on my E92 M3 and they hold up very well for a dual duty pad. I prefer them over the other options listed.
Pros: hold up very well

The StopTechs Sports are the better track and street option, I used the front pads in my E46 M3 for 10k+ street miles and a few trackdays. They have good feel and modulation. Just had a little bit of fade towards the end of a 25 minute session.
Pros: good feel, good modulation, street and track option
Cons: some fade
Vehicle:
BMW
Mileage: 16093 km
I’ve been happy with my StopTech Sport pads.
Pros: happy with pads
Been using Bendix metal king for my cars. Yes the brake dust sucks, but the braking fade is superior.
Pros: superior fade resistance
Cons: excessive brake dust
During braking po maingay like sumisipol pero minsan naman hindi lalo na kapag maulan pero depende padin. Had my breaks cleaned, from pads to cleaning talaga like baklas. Ang gamit ko po is bendix na brake pads, makapal pa po pads.
Cons: squeaking noise during braking
Vehicle:
Suzuki Celerio
Driving a Saga MT 2024. Switched from the stock brakepads to Bendix Metal King's. Drove up and down Genting roads quite often, but damn, the braking grips are not what was advertised, and made worse during rainy days. Luckily I drove a manual transmission saga, so I could balanced out braking hard with employing low gear, to cater to a proper sudden stop, especially going downhill, with all the speed bumps up there. And the brake dust? Lord! It's like I painted my wheels with paint, each time I got home.
Cons: poor grip, excessive dust
