Brake discs Brembo or Duralast

Dad used brembo on kadjar, expensive asf but worth it

Bought new 2004 Sienna XLE Braun handicapped conversion with 240K miles still going strong but only 14 mpg. Another 2004 Sienna Limited bought used in 2013 w/130K miles now 210K miles. I’ve replaced the suspension on both, added 3rd generation Big Brake calipers, Pads (use Akebono or Advics) and rotors (Fremax, Brembo, or Raybestos in order of quality) to get better braking, see SiennaChat for details.

Get the Akebono ProAct pads, and good quality rotors. I bought Brembo rotors last time, and they worked well.

I know nobody asked about parts, but I’ve been happy with Brembo and Zimmerman coated rotors, and ATE ceramic pads. They aren’t grabby like the stock setup but don’t seem any less strong. Smoother and easier to modulate.

I just changed my front rotors and pads recently. I bought Brembo 26300VA000 rotors with Hawk HB616Z.607 pads. In total, I spent $450.89 USD for the fronts alone. It was simple and straightforward to change.

I have a 2016 300h and was actually doing the rotors just today. Idk if the 350 and 300h share braking components but if they do be aware that the rear rotors may need their parking brake adjusted to even be able to get the rotors off. That little rubber grommet has to be at the 6:00 position and you have to inch a gear down to adjust it.

I've also got a Type R and Rock Auto does sell one-piece blanks for our cars. They're made by Dynamic Friction. I had a pair of two-piece Paragon front rotors that I bought used but sold them to keep consumables cost down. They did well on track. Haven't tracked the blanks yet, but am registered for an event in August.

The EBC Yellowstuff pads didn't last as long as the OE pads. The Alfa EBC rotors still are shipping with Gen1 "ThermicBlack" coating on them, which isn't as good as the Geomet/Geospec coating that EBC claims to now be using on new production parts. The EBC Gen1 coating rusts and looks like a pretty nasty rotor in just two years. I went with the EBC rotors in 2021 because I didn't want Chinese parts either, and the EBC items are made in the UK (and pads may be made in the USA).So when I did the rear brakes again this year (rear EBC YS pads shot in 23k miles), I went back to the OE Alfa rear pads. I ordered the EBC rotors, but when they showed up with the Gen1 coating that sucks, I returned them. And I ended up having to buy Dynamic Friction Geospec/Geomet coated rotors, which are made in China. The Dynamic Friction rotors were well packaged (much better than the EBCs). So far, they're completely fine after maybe 100 miles.

Have recently had shudder with Brembo brakes on my 2018 Kia Stinger GT2 … 55k miles ….after inspection , need new rotors and pads.

Hab am Passat B8 vorne Brembo Scheiben und die sind unfassbar schlecht. Deutlicher ungenutzter Rand an der Bremsscheibe und massiver Rostansatz. Da waren/sind selbst die Bosch Scheiben besser.
