I personally like the Brembo SR they work both cold/wet and hot, they're noticeably better than the SA pads they have.
Pros: work cold, wet, and hot
Just wish they didn’t squeal…..
Cons: squealing noise
The M-Sport brakes are more than a pretty face. There is so much stopping power. A car this size has no business being able to decelerate this fast, yet anytime you push the pedal, there’s always more to be had. I don’t think I’ve driven a car of any size that can compare to the kung-fu grip that those Brembos have. Paired with the 22’ wheels, ABS is almost irrelevant because there’s no locking, just stopping.
Pros: so much stopping power, fast deceleration
The original discs/pads are an insane ripoff. They want something in the range of 600-700€ for a (front) set. I ordered a set from Brembo for ~260€. It felt the same.. No difference in how it felt/braked etc.
Pros: felt the same as OEM
Vehicle:
Hyundai i30
I found the front brakes (brembo) and the rear for 109 and 99. They\u2019re better brakes and then the factory organic bs brakes and will take me an hour of my time to do.
Pros: better than factory brakes
Vehicle:
Rover
Brembo factory replacement are OEM equivalent or better
Pros: OEM equivalent or better
Vehicle:
Honda Civic
I would go with Brembo or some other reputable performance brakes before I’d ever consider 7k for Audi brakes lol.
Pros: reputable performance
A lot of the regular maintenance items are quite reasonable, brakes are off the shelf brembo and the front calipers are used on a lot of VW group cars, hell I even fitted a pair to my old Octy vRS.
Pros: reasonable maintenance items
Yes, its definitely worth it. The brake feel and performance gives you way more confidence in the car and you will cook the stock brakes pretty fast when you get aggressive with them on a track.
Pros: more confidence in car
Cons: stock brakes cook fast
Vehicle:
Subaru
