Review on ๐Ÿšฆ Enhanced Performance Brake Pads - StopTech 309.08170 with Shims and Hardware by Daniel Steele

Revainrating 4 out of 5

Good price and little upgrade over the original Toyota pads

Bought these just for the front wheels on my 2003 Celica GTS. So far so good after almost 8000 km. Pros: - No noticeable squeak in the morning or at night - Good initial bite, like OEM if I remember - Less disappearance when going down steep hills compared to OEM. I remember the stock pads disappearing pretty quickly when going down steep hills and riding on the brakes. Not so much with these, but a little. Disadvantages: - Dust. These pads are MUCH dustier than OEM and darker dust. But if it's a compromise for less fading then I agree - the initial bite could be a little better - they seem to wear out quicker than my original pads. Overall I am very happy with these pads. Dust is my only problem as they turn my rim dark brown/black if I don't wash them off every once in a while. I would buy again or try a more aggressive pad for more initial bite. If you're looking for better pads and don't want to break the bank, give these a try, but be aware that they can get pretty dusty.

Pros
  • Stylish and modern design
Cons
  • Clarity
