Last month I've passed inspection and they told me that the rear left handbrake was almost out of spec and I'd need to check it out although it passed. So a month later I've bought a Bosch kit, sliders, pads, grease, toolkit etc and replaced the 1 year old ferodo pads. Now handbrake is like it should be and I'm happy with it but take a look at the old pads...Both inner side alignment pins (caliper side) are bent.

Pros: handbrake works well
Cons: pins bent, caliper wear

Brembo Brake pads

I’ve used kits like this before and that one is spot on. I have Brembo discs and pads on my car now, and do notice a bit more bite from the pedal this time, which is amwbag I was looking for. The downside is the brakes need a bit more heat in them before they’re effective, which is not the case with the Sebro/Textar setup.

Pros: more bite from pedal
Cons: needs more heat before effective
Vehicle: Porsche 911

I replaced my pads at 70k from factory. Had ATC on the whole time and I use PROPilot Assist and Intelligent cruise control often and most of the time it's together. Very minimal pad wear after replacing. The factory ones squeaked when it was cold but would go away after some heat, I went with the Akebono ASP pads this go around and no noise at all.

Pros: minimal wear, no noise
Cons: squeaked when cold
Mileage: 70000 km

EBC Brake pads

Be careful when buying brakes for the Stinger, if you buy anything cheaper than the originals you'll get a nasty judder within a couple thousand miles! I had to replace the disc and pads with EBC Yellow to get rid of it. The judder was awful.

Cons: nasty judder, awful
Vehicle: Kia
Mileage: 2000 km

I have personally ran these rotors with EBC HH pads. I blued them on my first track day and swapped to used OEMs before the next. They felt fine as far as bite but the immediate bluing shows they’re not up to any amount of real heat. If I ran them for a track day or two more they surely would’ve faded badly and warped. I don’t recommend them.

Pros: felt fine as far as bite
Cons: faded badly, warped
