Brake pads Brembo or Centric

I personally like Centric Posi-quiet ceramic pads or powerstop ceramics. Low dust, brake plenty fine for daily use and spirited driving.

The Ohlins / Brembo combo is light years better than the suspension and brakes on my MT07 were though

A set of 2x front Brembo pads and discs are less than \u00a3300 from Eurocarparts

I use Brembo Ceramic brake pads on my Mini Cooper S and Brembo rotors. Less dust, no noise.

They are Brembo brakes so can be done anywhere.

If your car is spec'd for Brembo brake pads, they probably weren't fully needed in yet, which is 100% normal.

I had Brembo rotors and ceramic pads front and rear on my 2017 V60 T5. Rotors were fine, the pads wore out ridiculously fast. Switched to Akebono pads and was much happier. They lasted literally twice as long.

The MK7 R community seems to like Centric Posi-Quiet Ceramic Though I had a love-hate relationship on them. Centric claims no bedding was necessary... so, I listened to them and found the lack of braking dangerous. Then, one late night, on an empty highway, I bedded them in with about 10, 70-5 mph medium to hard slow downs, got the rotors heated up and brake pads smelling... then drove on the highway for about half hour, then turned around and went home and let the brakes completely cool. Then I loved the brakes.

This time the shims on the back of my new Brembo brake pads are rotating? Weird! Can’t figure out the mechanics of that happening. Doesn’t make any sense. Only a month old.
