Brake pads Tesla or WILWOOD
my 2015 Model S is still on the original brake pads, never had an issue, and I'm at like 125k miles.
Pros: long lasting, no issues
Mileage: 125000 km
Several teslas, both S and 3, and never had to replace them. I got used to one pedal driving. My 3 has almost 60k and brakes are almost new.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 60000 km
2014 MS P85D 102,000 miles still on factory pads and rotors.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 102000 km
I have about 50k miles on my 2018 M3. Pads still seem to have plenty of life left.
Pros: long lasting
Mileage: 50000 km
Here's mine. MMP adapter brackets, stock 11" rotors, BP20 pads. Work very well.
Pros: work very well
I've got them on my SLC as well. They are amazing. I have stainless hoses and drilled/slotted rotors all around. Went from stock brakes with mintex red box pads, to Girling 60's with hawk hps pads, and put Wilwoods on it last year and the wilwood's just blow the others out of the water. AND they fit under the stock wheels.
Pros: amazing, fit stock wheels
I don't know much about Stop-Tech, however, I have heard from a friend that used Wilwood that these perform best in non-Winter driving conditions. He said that over time they will not stand up as well as a Brembo set up. It might be worth noting what climate (Alaska vs California) that you spend most of your driving time in as well when factoring a BBK upgrade. I also noticed that you are quite new to this group so allow me to introduce you to the member who will derail all original posts into something else to the point where your thread may get locked up. See below. GoGo Golf R said: Ok let's try to agree on the following: 1) Upgrading the brakes is mostly justified for track driving purposes No, Personal preference. 2) Changing the brake pads will reduce dust for street driving Depends on your pad choice 3) Changing the brake pads, rotors and brake lines is pricy Subjective 4) The OEM brakes, while not totally ideal for every driving style, will suffice for average street drivers and some track drivers Depends on your driving style 5) Downshifting with correct rev-matching, will extend the duration and reduce wear on the brakes Yes because replacing your clutch is much cheaper than new pads :screwy:
Pros: perform best in non-winter
Cons: don't stand up as well over time
What type of maintenance do they need? Can you get parts for them (say brake pads) easily?
70,000 miles on the X because the emergency brake pad fell out. They told me to redo the whole set at $2,000 since the ebrake was out and it wasn’t covered under warranty.
Cons: emergency brake failed, expensive repair
Mileage: 70000 km
Wilwoods suck.
Cons: suck
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Corrado
