Brake pads Brembo or Carbotech

You can save on the brake pad prices, either buy the original parts from a shop in sharjah for much less or install Brembo Brake pads which also cost much less and are also very good quality.

I swapped front pads with a 13mm socket, hammer and drift pin. In about 30 mins in my driveway. $210, parts delivered from Amazon. Took the opportunity to scrub out calibers free from all the caked on brake dust. Cleaned the inside of the wheels while I was there. Dealership wanted $787 just for the front pads and quoted more than $1000 installed. Easiest job ever and saved $500-$700.

If you DIY and have the tools I did front and rear brakes on my 340i with brembos for $725ish

I have 45k miles on my 2016 STI and just replaced all 4 rotors and pads with another set of Brembos. I don’t drive the car particularly hard and probably could have waited a bit longer but they are done now so I shouldn’t have to worry about them. Cost me about 1k all-in, parts and labor.

I just put some Brembro low met pads on out SQ5. They are more progressive bite, but I like them better than the Hawk HPS 5.0 on my S4. When you get on them they stop very well. Not sure on dust yet.

The xp12s are beasts. I pulled brake bias 1-click from full rear to get them balanced on level braking. This gives me one click for more rear, which was really enough for the track. I love late braking, and I can hammer these on a 20min session with NO change in performance.

I recently installed Brembo pads. It cost around £150 for the whole set (1 pair at the back, 2 pairs for the front). But the new ones are day and night difference. It's now super sharp with amazing modulation.

Brembo pads are better than oem and cheaper through rock auto. Recommend oem rotors though.

The amount of dust from Brembo pads never fails to drive me absolutely insane. Phenomenal brakes, but my god is cleaning the wheels constantly brutal.

I've had issues with my EuroCarPart "Brembo" pads overheating to the point of squealing for a couple of miles after some spirited driving.
