Owner reviews for brake pads

I’m using Brembo brake discs and Ferodo brake pads.

The EBC FA606HH are a good upgrade. Great feel and initial bite.

I would go with Brembo or some other reputable performance brakes before I’d ever consider 7k for Audi brakes lol.

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.

I made it to 240k on my ‘19 before I had to change the fronts. I still have 6/32 on the rear pads at 255k now too. The factory pads are crazy good

I bought my 2016 Prius used with 32k miles on it back in 2019. It now has 157k miles and the maintenance has been a breeze. Just standard oil changes every 5k, 1 transmission fluid change, two sets of tires and I don\u2019t even think I have replaced the brakes yet ..no seriously I don\u2019t think I have yet.

Could be the brakes. My wife's CX-5 smells like that, too. I think one of her slide pins probably seized and needs to be lubricated. Full brake job will be done in the spring. 35K miles or so. I've found that the road salt here just murders Mazda OEM brakes. We've had the same experience with Honda, as well.

My only issue is squeaky brakes on reverse. The dealership told me to do some hard braking when they get squeaky, and that actually helps.

I replaced the rear pads and rotors with Power Stop pads and rotors. Bleed. Did break in proceedure. No change.

E65 730D, squeaky brakes and suspension, engine mounts shot, interior semi clean apart from the ashtray
