Brake pads STOPTECH or WAGNER
Stoptech sports are the best dual use pad I’ve used…they’re great for fast street driving and they last.
Pros: great for fast driving, they last
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
Stoptech Sport 309 pads are all I need on my stock power car.
Pros: all I need

At 75K went with OEM rotors in the rear and some Wagner QS ZD1108 ceramic pads. Then went with some Brembo 09.C306.11 rotors in the front with EBC Reds ceramic pads. I don’t track. Stopping power is about the same. I didn’t notice a huge difference. What I did notice, much quieter stopping and NO MORE BROWN BRAKE DUST. Yes, still get brake dust but not nearly as much. And when it collects, it’s more of a light white dust. Easy to clean. Super happy with the change. Even in the winter, stopping power is good.
Pros: quieter stopping, less dust

Wagner thermoquiet here. Works perfectly.
Pros: works perfectly
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
I’ve used Wagner thermoquiet pads and the cheapest wholesale close out rotor with good results.
Pros: good results, inexpensive
Grimmspeed MCB, STOPTECH Sport package (pads, rotors, lines) and the GR86 Shock/Strut retrofit.

I also changed the rear brake pads to Wagner ZD1761 ceramic because the stock pads stink.
Cons: stock pads stink
Part number: ZD1761
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
