Totally NOT recommending Brembo, totally recommending ATE disks with ATE pads with Ceramic, even cheaper but **much much** better than Brembo, from all standpoints

Pros: much better than Brembo
Cons: not recommending Brembo

On the way back it started shuttering bad while breaking, especially down hill. I took it back to the place that did the brakes and they said front rotors were overheated. The parts are TRW (pads and rotors).

Cons: shuttering bad, overheated
