Brake pads Brembo or Bendix

owning a vehicle with Brembo's on it: they are really excellent brakes.

Brembo brakes generally have no problems.

Brakes are Brembo's from a Evo 9, i used a adapter kit for Eclipse's and bolted right up but is slightly clocked down (Which i kind of like).

New brakes Brembo Max in front and Brembo in back

Brakes i try and stick with Brembo, they seem to be the best from all the ones I've tried on the race bikes, they do enough compounds that you can really fine tune what type of riding you're doing as well.

I think I figured out why the brakes are so weird feeling. Even after I got them to firm up, they never really felt like I'm used to in my old STI or 911. I bought OBD11 to make some changes for track and had an ah ha moment. The last change to make was for hydraulic brake assist, but I couldn't get it to work in OBD11 because I didn't have the correct security code. Took a couple of days to find it, but I drove around with the other changes and brakes felt the same. I finally found the code and deactivated Hydraulic brake assistance in the 03 module and they brakes actually work like a normal car now. Holy cow, night and day difference.

I just did my Rotors and brakes on my 2nd Gen 2005 and used Bendix Rotors PRT5716 for rears and PRT5675 for front. As for pads I used their Premium Copper free CFC1100 and it major difference in stopping feels like its brand new again. Also pads I did before I hated they were Wagner Ceramic Thermo quiet pads and they squeaked non stop min put them in it drove me nuts I got money use out of them and used them till I couldn't take squeaking anymore LOL

This years projects are all done.. finally got the rear big brakes finished and they came out great.. a lot of work but, brake pedal feel is just as good as with the fronts only, and this thing will make your teeth fly out when you put them down.

I suggest you read reviews of a guy that went with TT RS brakes on his car. It's got what IMO are some bad side effects... I think they're complete over kill for our car.

I stepped up to Brembo pads on my A4 and they are nothing to write home about performance-wise. They also dust like no other pad I've used.
