Stoptech pads are a great pad for street use.

Hawks i find are so noisy until they get to the right temp. The brembo is a great pad but wear out really fast. Not to add they are expensive.

"Best brake pads for a reasonable price" is going to get you a lot of different answers.

I bought girodisc magic pads to replace my stock pads. I honestly can say I love them. Low dust and quiet. I had them on for around 35K miles with lots of hard braking throughout their life. I am ordering another set and it's under 150 bucks shipped for all four corners.

If you are looking for a stock replacement that is going to out last the stock pads and be as good or better than stock, I think these are a great choice. A few people have said stoptech and I have heard good things about them as well, but I have never tried them. I just like the Girodisc company and reputation, and the quality of their parts that I have used.

Please take a moment and think through the above exchange. You are effectively saying that you don't need complete information to make a judgment as to what is best.

Hope these are good pads, just ordered fr/rear pads. Hope they work well, oem brembro pads are insane expensive.,maybe if I only tracked the car I could justify the cost.,

Hawk Performance pads are what I have been running since I've had my MR. No issues.
