Brake pads Brembo or Carbotech

I usually buy Brembo.

I have Brembos on the front of my 09. Working great for me.

I bought a set of brembo discs and pads, OEM spec. They work a treat and its much quicker to stop than oem brakes

New ceramic brembo brake pads all around. 10/25/2024

I've been to 20 track events to this day I'm still running OEM calipers. Just carbotech pads. You don't need a big brake kit at all. The oem cracks because of improper cooldown. I learned that after a session to take my cooldown lap seriously and ever since then i stopped cracking AutoZone rotors

I ran stock rotors for a long time with carbotech xp10/8, front brake ducts, stainless lines, and Motul 660. The XP10/8 + ducts was sufficient for 20min session the tracks I drive.

Drilled Brembo max rotors and Brembo pads

For the pads I went with:

Brembo Pad Set (P56048N + P54039N) for $110

It came with Brembo brakes, I have used them for about 75k miles and they are starting to make terrible noise especially when cold. They were making noise since maybe 40k miles but everytime i asked dealers to check the brakes they said they are fine. Even right now they brake perfectly fine but they make awful noise until they heat up.

Man I have civic ep3 I know it's not the same but I did mine for 180 pounds it's like 220buck brembo pads and rotors front and back. I did it myself but dude that sound fucking expensive
