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

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.
