I run Akebono Asp1001 in the Front brakes and Act1878 in the rear for just a less dusty setup for daily driving, not terrible on the rotor, and good price. Definitely not the same bite.

I swapped all mine about 3000 miles in because the pads are pretty good so I'm saving them for a weekend of tracking. The OEM pads don't last very long I hear anywhere from 8,000 miles to 15k miles intervals these days. It's just good to have a set for each duty. If you understand how the brakes degrade/performance caveats work on this car it just makes it a much better driving experience. Brakes stabilize the car a ton and that's why the balance is amazing when always dialed in.

I got -a little over 20,000 and they’re getting there. Trying to pick something that’s still gonna perform.

What are you prioritizing? Daily driving less noise and dust? Track performance more noise and dust? What kind of events or driving do plan on doing? Single do it all pads will be a trade off somewhere.

Endless MX 72 plus. Great but dusty. Use on track and street. Their Hi temp brake fluid is great as well.

I drive street alot but spirited , I want them to perform if I’m spirited driving in the street or going hard on the track.

Today I was driving this road I like pretty hard and towards the end of the road only a few minutes if hard breaking the pedal had a squish feel to it. Brake fluid ? Or hoses ?

I just ordered some Carbotech XP12/10 combo for upcoming track day and will move to their 1512's for street driving. They share the same compound so no need to rebed every time I swap pads.

could be both. I would say it would a lot of braking to boil OEM fluid on the street. I'd invest in some steel braided lines for sure.

I have the ebc SR11 in front and ecb blue in rear. Having a lot of fun on track and street. A little noise on street at slow stops but to be expected. The sr11 are likely too much pad for the stock tires. Don't forget titanium shims too.

Castrol srf is great fluid. Should last a full season

Forgot to add I'm trying the dixcel z rear pads next. They look comparable to the ebc blue.

I use Paragon P3 front pads for street and track day purposes. Stock rear pads. Had 3 days of track day. Felt slight fade towards the end of a 30 min session but overall pretty good.
