Brake pads Textar or R1 Concepts
Reviews
I always had good results with textar and Zimmerman.

I use all Textar disks and pads and they are excellent.
Pros: excellent disks and pads
I have R1 concepts from Amazon, perfect for the car and stopping power.
Pros: perfect stopping power
Vehicle:

I havent had an issue with them in 2 years.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Infiniti Q50
I used the R1 concepts drilled and slotted kit with pads. Front and rear total was like 500 bucks. Did it myself. They work great.
Pros: work great, easy install
They seem good so far. I'm not very handy and I was able to put them on pretty easily.
Pros: easy to install, good so far
Quality pads and rotors tend not to warp out in a couple hundred miles. If you bought Durlast junk from Autoroo then that's the reason. Stick with OE/OEM Quality like ATE rotors and Textar pads.
Pros: OE/OEM Quality
Cons: Durlast junk
I've had mine for like 60k miles. 87k ish on the clock. Just changed everything. Yearly inspection and the shop rejected it for brakes. Brake installer said the weren't that bad. I bought an R1 Concepts kit. Front and rear rotors plus pads all around. $220 shipped on Walmart+ (also found on Amazon or Rock Auto). The shop had a brakes special: $160 installed for new pads. Since I had the parts and rotors take like 30 seconds to swap out, they charged me for two brake installs at $150 each. So all in installed was like $550 after taxes.For reference: the shop that rejected it quoted something like $500 for the front and $500 for the rear. And I don't think it was all new everything.
Cons: rejected for brakes
Vehicle:
Honda Accord
Mileage: 87000 km
Textar is hot garbage these days unfortunately
Cons: poor quality
After two years or so I get horrible squealing when I stop in reverse. Rusting is pretty bad too.
Cons: horrible squealing, bad rusting
