Brake Pads for Daily Use

Hey Dominic, You rode in my 2012 auto with Brembo upgrade and CT pads. So you know what those can do.

Yes you can buy aftermarket pads for the stock calipers, But my thoughts are brakes are the first thing to upgrade. My opinion only of course.

Anyone out there with OEM calipers and aftermarket pads?

Yes sir, I definitely recall that ride. Your car is definitely track setup. The whole package is very nice on your car . I won't be making mine that hardcore until I can get a daily.

I have a long way to go on track setup, but like you I need a DD first!

You asked for a recommendation for "daily use."

Zero noise, and nearly zero dust. I think they actually stop the car better than the stock Brembo pads did, at least in a normal "cold" street driving scenario. I'm not into stopping repeatedly from 120mph on a road course. I want my DD's pads to be quiet, and I couldn't stand seeing my front wheels turning gray after the drive home from the car wash. These are basically perfect for me.

My local AZ accidentally sold me the standard non-Brembo GT pads first. When I returned them, and they got me the correct Boss 302 pads, they were about ten bucks less, lol. I think they ended up being $50 for the fronts.
