Brake Pad Question - Page 2 - Toyota GR86, 86, FR-S and Subaru BRZ Forum & Owners Community

I get a vibration during braking that I am assuming is rotors. I'll check them out. But I heat these rotors up quite a bit. I practically drive like it's auto x every day.

Most of the usage in that thread is way overkill for your needs. Buying rotors without measuring the thickness of the existing ones is like replacing headlights once a year so they don't burnout on you unexpectedly, despite the fact that most last well over 5 years.

Only the hardcore track guys are using up rotors quickly on this car, most people are sailing past 60k miles on OE rotors even with occasional track and frequent autox usage.

OP what exactly are you doing with the car?

I would add Carbotech AX6 and G-Loc R6 to that list of pads to consider.

Very aggressive back road driving. My car sees the abuse that most weekend auto x guys will see. I just want the least dusty pad that will last a decent while and stop the car. I have had enough heat in my brake pads during spirited daily driving that I have noticed the faded stopping power.

HPS were the absolute worst pads I've ever run.
I can't comment to the other two choices.

I have hawk hp+ ive done some spirited driving runs. Never had any issue with fade but as commented above they dust like crazy and squeal when not at operating temp(so 80% of the time its driven)

Try the G-Loc R6, front and rear, with upgraded brake fluid.
