I’ve been using trw ultra no dust,no sound and they stop real quick
Pros: no dust, no sound, quick stop
I've swapped between Stoptech street pads and Carbotech XP-12 for a few years. The Carbotechs (race pads) would require some bedding in whenever they go back on the car. The rotors surprisingly lasted much longer than on the Carbotechs alone (I daily drive the car). I suspect it's due to the ideal working temperature of the Carbotech compound.
Pros: rotors lasted longer
Cons: Carbotech bedding in
I went for Stoptech 309 sport pads since they are relatively cheap, and are comparable to ds2500. I only street
Pros: relatively cheap
Stoptech Sport (aka 309). Quiet on the street and good enough for track days. The only downside is the dust.
Pros: quiet, good for track
Cons: lots of dust
Part number: 309
I use Stoptech Sport pads + Centric blank rotors with NB brake conversion on my 91 NA. I mostly daily drive my car, but will occasionally take it on mountain runs or the occasional autocross. Haven't experienced any performance issues with them. They're very quiet and perform well under hard braking. Only problem is that these pads put out a *lot* of dust.
Pros: quiet, good performance
Cons: lots of dust
I went with TRW Ultra ceramic pads and Zimmerman rotors from FCP Euro for my S90. It was a big upgrade from OEM in my experience.
Pros: big upgrade from OEM
Vehicle:
Volvo S90
Its funny, my close bud actually runs stop-techs, they seem to be doing him fairly well Might consider stoptech's as well for the future. Until then, I'm just going to run these EBC's down a bit more so that I don't feel like its money down the drain
Pros: doing him fairly well
That's the standard Toe-N-Go alignment.. most "alignment" places do that, unless you go to a specialized alignment place.
Pros: standard alignment
Cons: Toe-N-Go alignment
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
