Upgrading stock pads

[sibhusz06]

Ive noticed that the M3s stock pads don't have the same initial bite or brake torque as the base 328 models and somewhat miss that coming from one.

Im curious if there is an aftermarket pad that has more initial brake torque or bite vs the oem pad.

Thanks

I'm a huge fan of the stoptech street pads. A little better bite than stock

I run the stoptech, but may have the older street that are now the Sport, and don’t think cold bite is any better than stock. You can buy autocross pads that bite hard but they will squeal when daily driven.

I think I'd prefer more modulation and a linear feel as opposed to a pad that grabs too fast and instantly engages the ABS. Once the ABS is engaged, you need stickier tires.
