Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM Honda
2000 Honda Oddyssey
High mileage but runs good, small dent on driver's quarter panel. Rebuilt trans, shifts good, engine runs great just had valves done. A/C doesn;'t work probaly needs freon. 3.5l v6 automatic. Aftermarket radio HAS AUX JACK. New headlight lenses, new intake tube, new break pads
Pros: new break pads
Vehicle:
Honda Odyssey
Actually just installed a set in my MK6 GLI and they are a whole lot better than the OEM branded pads.
Pros: a whole lot better
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
There is a noticeable difference between OEM pads and these along with high temp brake fluid when doing 20 min sessions at Portland International Raceway... less fade and shorter stopping distance. Also the pads are still quiet and about same brake dust as OEM.
Pros: less fade, shorter distance
Cons: none

I went with the Powerstop slotted/cross drilled rotors, and Stoptech Sport pads on my Impreza, and they're awesome. The Stoptechs are Semi-metallics and initial bite is really good compared to the ceramics I previously had.
Pros: good initial bite
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza
I have a full Stoptech setup (4 slotted rotors and street pads) on my MK6 GTI right now, and I like how it feels and performs. I used to have just Stoptech rear pads on OEM rotors, and it seemed to perform just fine as well. The downside (in my experience) with the street pads is that they dust a LOT, especially the rears.
Pros: good feel and performs
Cons: dust a lot

I had StopTec Posi Quiet pads installed on my '17 R. They have very little brake dust and are much more linear feeling than the stock pads. I can highly recommend them for street use.
Pros: very little brake dust, linear feeling
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Golf
Stoptech Street Performance pads are a better compound. My wife had them on her old WRX and they were fine for her use. She didn't experience any noise, they were lower dust than the HPS, and were quicker to bite honestly.
Pros: lower dust, quicker bite
Cons: noise
Vehicle:
Subaru
So far the above combination is great, brakes are stronger than stock, take longer to fade, and don't make any noise. But the dust...it's horrible. I'm finding myself cleaning my wheels 1-2 times a week now :what:.
Pros: stronger than stock, longer fade
Cons: horrible dust
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I have brembo uv coated rotors front and rear. I only put them on in the fall but through 1 winter they still look like new. I have stoptech pads as well and they work very well, a solid improvement over stock, butttt they dust A LOT.
Pros: solid improvement over stock
Cons: dust A LOT
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Some mk6's have the 272mm rotors and some have the 253mm. I found out the hard way when I ordered the standard Stoptech Street Performance pads. Had to reorder.
Cons: had to reorder
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
