Brake discs Brembo or R1 Concepts

Brembo UV coated so the exposed parts don’t rust up and EBC Reds ceramic pads. Great combo.

I put on brembo rotors and EBC yellow stuff. I followed the break in procedure and have had no issues. Stops great even from 130+

Bought my 2018 Stinger GT new - within a few months my steering would shake like it had warped rotors - and it wasnt always the case - it would be ok at times, then come back. I use Auto Hold a lot - and it seems that feature causes the shaking in the steering wheel the more I used it. I did talk with Kia about it and they dismissed it and said it was fine - after being sick and tired of the shaking I went and bought new rotors and pads from R1 Concepts and havent looked back - no issues at all since I installed them and I use Auto Hold every single day.

If you’re going to replace the front rotors, I recommend going with some coated rotors, like Brembo 09.C306.11, to prevent rusted rotors where the brake pads don’t make contact.

Brembo are OEM on most AMGs from the 63/45 lineups. The Brembo front rotors for the CLA45 aren’t terribly expensive ($400) compared to the bigger brakes on the 63s.

R1 concept is what I use, with the drilled and slowed with there performance pads, works very good and at a low cost , plus the rotors look awesome on the car.

Been running r1 concepts slotted and drilled for a year on factory bbk. Highly recommend.

I put Brembo rotors and pads on my mk5. I like them. The coated rotors are great. No more rust on the non-friction surfaces.

on my SELP with 18K miles, the rear rotors were pulsating and shuddering at high speeds and I know exactly what caused it, coming over a mountain pass, but NOT riding the brakes. Anyway, the disc surafces looked ok but 2/3 of the pads had gone. Changed out with Pagid pads and Brembo rotors - we\u2019ll see how that goes. BTW removing the caliper is a PITA the triplle hex bolts were are very very tight. On my SE with 38k miles front pads were down to last remaining 1mm\u2026. Yeah I should have checked them a while back. Both front rotors on both cars are heavily grooved, but no signs of deposits. Put Pagid pads in the fronts. On the SE I have just ordered Brembo cross drilled rotors for the rear. I thought I would just share this info and given more evidence of how these Arteon\u2019s eat pads and rotors wear wise and are easy to distort.

I now have the same problem and know exactly how it happened, came over a long downhil mountain pass (NOT riding the brakes by the way) and later went to brake shudder/vibration from the rear. I have two new rear Brembo rotors and Pagid pads for a fun job on a car thats only done 18K miles. I think its the rear brake design is flawed from this standpoint
