vs
Brake pads STOPTECH or DIXCEL
I ended up buying stoptech all around and they lsst a twice longer and have a better bite for street use.
Pros: last longer, better bite
I have always ran DIXCEL Z on all my cars. Extremely quiet once you bed them in and has a temp range of 0-850°C with a friction coefficient of 0.67. They're just a bit dusty.
Pros: quiet, wide temp range
Cons: a bit dusty
Stoptech Sport 309 pads are all I need on my stock power car.
Pros: all I need
Vehicle:
Mazda
I went to Stoptech Street pads at 35k miles on the fronts only, took care of the issue after a few bed-in runs. Still no shudder at 75k and original rotors
Pros: took care of issue
Mileage: 120700 km
Grimmspeed MCB, STOPTECH Sport package (pads, rotors, lines) and the GR86 Shock/Strut retrofit.

I have stoptech "performance brake pads" on my front and rear. Feels like OEM but more dusty
Pros: feels like OEM
Cons: more dusty
personally i run dixcel z-type pads and a stock rotor with DOT4 fluid and its one of the best upgrade options IMO
Pros: best upgrade option
It's a solid pedal feel.
Pros: solid pedal feel
There was a noticable increase in stopping power, but it came with a significant increase in brake dust. They also started squealing recently. I recently checked the pad life and it's been okay. So far I've put 10k on em, and I'm estimating that 1/3 to 1/2 of their life has been used
Pros: increased stopping power
Cons: increased dust, squealing
Mileage: 10000 km
I installed Stop Techs in my 2016 WRX at around 10,000kms. Didn't notice much difference. Hated them, squeked a bit when new. But they left brown dust on my nice clean gold rims and I hated that. Swapped the stockers back in and again didn't notice much difference in stopping, maybe i had to push slightly more to come to a stop. But so glad I don't have shit coloured brown front rims.
Cons: squealing, brown dust
