Brembo GT 365/345 kit Brake Pads?

I want to see what options I have out there.

I've bought ENDLESS before and they are absolutely amazing but my car is a daily driver so it might be overkill.

Anyone else recommend something with low brake dust and good initial bite?

Let me know, greatly appreciated and the part numbers!

... Brembo. Not necessarily low dust, but then.. it’s a BBK. They are perfect for the street, daily driving, and weekend/canyon driving, probably even light track duty. What are you looking for compared to what they came with originally?

Low dust and good bite aren't going to go hand-in-hand unfortunately. Pads that are designed to have good bite use materials that make more dust than something like a low-dust ceramic pad. You'll have to decide what is more important to you, low dust or feel/performance. In my almost 20 years in the brake business, I have unfortunately not yet seen a pad that is great at both!

If you want versatile performance, I'd suggest the Ferodo DS2500. We have lots of users here on the forum running them on the stock brakes or our AP Racing brake kits. They can be daily driven, taken to the canyons, autoX, and even some light track duty. They are easy on discs, easy to bed-in, and they feel great. They are not low dust however.

The DS2500 is very similar to the D1001 pads (made by Ferodo) that ship with Brembo kits, but they are less expensive.

Here are the ones for the Brembo Mono6 (six piston):

You can verify their size and cross-reference Brembo numbers on the Ferodo site:

Here are the mono4 (four piston):

If you sign up for our email newsletter on our homepage, we offer a 10% discount on these as well. Thanks, and hopefully that helps!

Thank you so much for the advice and replacement parts. I'm going to see if I can get a price on Endless first then I will see what happens as I don't think I will need Endless this time around. The car is mainly a daily driver so I don't want to be splurging on parts I don't necessarily need.
Definitely consider the DS2500.
