Brake pads STOPTECH or Project Mu
StopTech rotor drilled & slotted. StopTech streetpads.
I run StopTech® Sport. They did me just fine on the track and are still suitable for daily/spirited driving.
The best solution I have found is to use slotted rotors--cryo treatment typically gets me 10K more miles before hard spots develop and I get a pedal vibration--and an aggressive pad without any ceramics. My solution is to use the best quality slotted rotor I can find, cryo treatment preferred, and use either a Wilwood BP-10/20 pad or a Project Mu NS brake pad. I found those two pads were aggressive enough to have great stopping power and would wear out the rotor at the same rate the pad wore down.
I have StopTech pads and rotors on my car and have not had any issues.
I personally use Project Mu HC+800 for their fantastic cold bite and high temp resistance.
I use the Stoptech Street Performance pads and they do a good job. ABS comes on with most 200TW tires... but I havne't tried the RE71R yet. Can't ask your brakes to do much more.
I run Stoptech Street Perfomance pads on my Miata and my Mustang. The Stoptech pads, from what I can tell, don't bite as hard as the Hawk pads people like to run, but they seem to be more linear in their braking response. And this might hold true for all pads, but the Stoptechs, especially on a cooler day, need a run or some sort of warm-up before they really feel good. Once they do get a bit of heat into them, they really feel nice and predictable.
Stoptech brake test mounted to the spindles. I buffed off the Stoptech logo with buffing compound. I prefer the understated look.
Actually just installed a set in my MK6 GLI and they are a whole lot better than the OEM branded pads.
Hey Paul, I'm reaching out because of a recent order I put in that the invoice you sent looks incorrect.
