Reviews of Brembo brake pads

All 135i have brembo supplied oem brakes. They sure do look great and have 6 pistons up front. But, the functionality of said brakes are not more special than what BMW offers for the 335i and Z4 of the same generation.

Around $2200 for a full brake job on my Jeep SRT's Brembo brakes! Stops on a friggin' dime too!

I suggest you read reviews of a guy that went with TT RS brakes on his car. It's got what IMO are some bad side effects... I think they're complete over kill for our car.

He also really likes the responsiveness of the brakes.

I have the R56S brakes on my R53, and I've had Brembo ceramic pads and cross-drilled rotors since I installed the calipers a little over a year ago. I'd recommend the pads, although I can't comment on how much they dust, because I have white wheels and any dust on them seems like a lot. The drilled rotors look awesome and perform really well, but my issue is that they have slightly warped since I put them on last year. If you decide to go the Brembo route, I'd probably recommend doing the slotted rotors instead of the drilled to prevent the warping.

Brakes.. It's been said, but cost more to replace, are heavier but more powerful, so an advantage from that standpoint.

GermanAutoParts.com has front BREMBO brake pads available for 1986-1989 Scirocco 16V models. Brembo's premium ceramic compound provides increased stopping power and reduced dust combined with quiet, smooth operation. The multi-layer shims minimize noise, vibration and harshness for quiet, smooth performance. Brembo Ceramic pads are an excellent choice if you want to minimize dust and noise while increasing braking performance in general street use.

I trust companies like Brembo or mintex to make decent, quality parts more than I trust Volvo to supply some. Volvo themselves don't make brake components. On my 240 for example the front brakes are Girling and the rears are ATE.

I had a set of 4 pots on my GLI and I must say the stopping power on the 4 pot Brembo>Stock.

Stock brakes are just ok. I'll be fixing the issue in the aftermarket world. Brembo package probably fixes this issue, but mine was used and didn't come with that option.
