Brake pads STOPTECH or WAGNER
Bosch and Wagner rotors and ceramic pads are my preferred brands. I put new Wagner front brake pads on the Frontier 5 1/2 years ago and they still have about 3mm left.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Nissan
I have stoptech "performance brake pads" on my front and rear. Feels like OEM but more dusty
Pros: feels like OEM
Cons: more dusty
I used closesale WAGNER OEX906A (Premium) OEX and closesale AUTO EXTRA AX31314. they actually works amazing, especially auto extra with "P" is semi-coated with a little bit more price, I have very good experience with them and actually recommends it if you want to be cheap
Pros: amazing, works well
Vehicle:
Toyota
Part number: WAGNER OEX906A, AUTO EXTRA AX31314
I used the Wagner QuickStop. They were affordable and have been fine so far
Pros: affordable, reliable
i use wagner at my shop. never had an issue in the 6 years i've been using them.
Pros: reliable, no issues
It's a solid pedal feel.
Pros: solid pedal feel
To me it looks like brake pad material on your rotors due to your street pads melting. Slap a new set a cheap pads on there from Autozone or something and drive it for a week or two that material should come off. As long as you don’t have vibration while braking they should still be good. Just make sure to use track pads next time. I personally run StopTech 309 pads because they’re good on track and street
Pros: good on track and street
Cons: street pads melting
Vehicle:
Subaru Impreza WRX
I got Stoptech Sport pads that I've used on track and street for many years.
Pros: used on track, used on street
There was a noticable increase in stopping power, but it came with a significant increase in brake dust. They also started squealing recently. I recently checked the pad life and it's been okay. So far I've put 10k on em, and I'm estimating that 1/3 to 1/2 of their life has been used
Pros: increased stopping power
Cons: increased dust, squealing
Mileage: 10000 km
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
