Question The Best Brake Pad Upgrade?
Hey guys my brake pads are nearly done. Should I buy stocks again or should I upgrade to something else? Hawks, StopTech, ProjectMu...

Do you track your car? No
Canyon Runs? Yes!
Spirited Driving? Oh yes!
Are you ok with squeaky/noisy brakes? Not yet

Thanks for the links but I am now more confused. Everyone recommends different pads. I didn't even know so many pads existed.

I don't go to serious. Btw the advice you gave on weight transition on the stock suspension is fantastic. If I go with the flow of turns the car feels like it's on rails.

Don't fight the car. I suggest something like a Winmax W2 and some RBF600 or PMU G-Four brake fluid.

Absolutely " Don't fight the car" is the key!. How do ST coilover compares to stock?

I'm gonna slightly disagree and recommend Winmax W1. W2 might make a tiny bit of noise. Not a lot. Unless you cook em canyoning

Do you have anything else? (stainless steel lines, brake fluid)

I'll second the Ferodo DS2500 pads. I have 15 k miles on them and they have been great. Stopping is very consistent if spirited driving or a short trip to the store
