1500's are suitable for everyday driving. 2000's are a little more stopping power (and a little more dust) for a street/sport style pad. There are a few posts above that specific say to NOT track with these pads.

Here's a DIY video:

In this video, he removes the parking brake motor and manually winds it back. It's MUCH easier to do it electronically with Bimmerlink and an OBD2 scanner.

Yes on the 1500 but no on the 2000. The 2000 you got right but are not for the track at all:

1500 = tons less dust than stock pads, same stopping as stock pads, street use only

2000 = same as 1500 but more stopping power, still less dust than stock by like 60%, not for track use

So if I’m looking to upgrade my pads for the dust, I’m at 1500 miles on the car haven’t experienced any noise yet. But I like to drive aggressively on the street sometimes and drag race a few times in summer. Do y’all think I should go with 1500 or 2000s?

I do recommend 2000.

Is there an average life span on the 2000? Are they going to wear significantly faster than 1500 or stock pads?

Ceramics last forever, so pick based on the bite and dust. I run IS2K and love the good bite. Dust is low enough to keep me happy, but it’s there. If you’re ok with less bite than stock (but still good and smooth) and want least dusting then 1500s are your pick.

I’ve been very happy with both the braking capability and low dust generation of the iSweep2000. Noise has been nonexistent, but I also had no noise with my stock (brembo) pads.
