Brake pads STOPTECH or GALFER
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
Vehicle:
BMW
I order the Galfer e-bike brake pads G1652 from Amazon and they fit really well. Definitely would recommend
Pros: fit well, recommend
Part number: G1652
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
I've had a bunch of stoptech sports on backroads and they have been good to go every single pair. Dust like crazy but they have good stopping power and hold on to their bite even when they start getting hot. You won't be setting any world records with them but for double duty they have served well.
Pros: good stopping power, durable
Cons: lots of dust
I run StopTech Sport pads and they’ve been fine. Pretty quiet but also pretty dusty (comparable to stock pads). No full track days in hot weather yet though, just autocross and cooking them on backroads.
Pros: quiet, good stopping power
Cons: dusty
I’ve tried nearly every pad on the list here and for a dual duty casual track and street car without needing the change pads I have found the stoptech sport and carbotech ax6 good if you don’t want to swap pads which is better for a first timer in my opinion. Otherwise ferodo ds2500 and the other ones in this thread are good if you get more experienced given time. The carbotech ax6 I am selling a set if interested brand new in box but they are expensive as are many suggestions on this list. The nice things about the stoptech is they are a true do all pad that is cheap as well!
Pros: dual duty, cheap
Cons: expensive
The only difference I noticed with Stoptech is more dust.
Cons: more dust
Stop tech pads have a lot of brake dust. I had them and hated them. I went with the power stop pads low dust on all four and powerstop drill and slotted rotors up front. I already had stop tech slotted in the rear.
Cons: lot of brake dust
