Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM BMW
For mixed street and track use, I haven’t found a better pad than Stoptech 309. Lots of dust, but no noise on the street and they will take an absolute beating on track (for a street pad). Great modulation at mid temps, low and high temps are acceptable.
Pros: great modulation, acceptable temps
Cons: lots of dust
Stoptech street performance (I believe renamed to Stoptech sport) has always been my go-to for spirited driving and track day use in a miata. In faster heavier cars, I use carbotechs for track days, but that's just overkill for a miata.
Pros: good for spirited driving
Vehicle:
Mazda 5
The pads on my 2019 Alltrack are wearing nicely as there is plenty of life left at 52,500 miles.
Pros: plenty of life left
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 84489 km
Stop tech sport brake pads have been great to me.
Pros: great performance
I replaced them both with stoptech pads and rotors. Good quality and price.
Pros: good quality, good price
I can't say much towards your brakes since I have a G30. However, I was quoted $1850 for my front M Sport brakes. I ended up doing it myself for $900 in parts only. It's not very complicated.
Pros: easy to do yourself
Cons: expensive quote
Vehicle:
BMW
I got quoted well over a grand to do all 4 brake pads at the dealer. I went to a local garage and they did it for half
Pros: cheaper at local garage
Cons: expensive at dealer
Just for front brakes/rotors at my dealership they wanted $1,100. I found a shop that is highly rated and they got it done, plus an oil change, for $550. So half the dealership and an oil change to boot. I\u2019ll never go to the dealership again unless it\u2019s an electronics issue.
Pros: cheaper at local shop
Cons: expensive at dealership
Its funny, my close bud actually runs stop-techs, they seem to be doing him fairly well Might consider stoptech's as well for the future. Until then, I'm just going to run these EBC's down a bit more so that I don't feel like its money down the drain
Pros: doing him fairly well
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
