Brake pads Brembo or EBC
I’ve used kits like this before and that one is spot on. I have Brembo discs and pads on my car now, and do notice a bit more bite from the pedal this time, which is amwbag I was looking for. The downside is the brakes need a bit more heat in them before they’re effective, which is not the case with the Sebro/Textar setup.
I went with Genracer’s offering of EBC red stuff pads and EBC oe replacement rotors. The price was very reasonable and I don’t track the car, only do some spirited driving. So far I like them but LOVE the reduced brake dust.
Gen1 here but just put on ebc rotors and pads all around.. fit great/work great. Have used ebc for years no issues.
In the end I went for EBC yellowstuff, this kit specifically:
If you want better stopping power, you could use ebc pads.
Pads and tyres affect braking the most, the actual discs themselves matter much less. Just get some higher tier metallic brake pads and you should be good. I would go for Brembo Extra pads personally.
The oem brakes on my 2012 were lackluster and kept seizing pins or calipers so I fixed the problem for good
To save you money, they probably did not need to change right rear caliper if only your left one was seized. They also could’ve given you options for prices on brakes and rotors as it appears they quoted you for dealer quality brake pads.
I've used Yellow Stuff about 4 times on 4 different cars. I drive very aggressively on the street during midnight haulin ass events. First off, even on the street I glazed them on all 4 cars. The one car I fried them in one night, and they cooked my rotors too.
Every GM performance car I’ve had squealed until I dumped the OEM Brembo pads.
