Brake pads Brembo or Ferodo

brembo. better than the bmw ones

Ferodo DS2500 paired with Zimmerman blank rotors and Motul RBF600 is what I use. The tracks I go to are more technical and not fast so it's great for my use case. I imagine if I went to a track where speeds are above 150Km/H and have long, fast corners, I would need better pads. I'm considered intermediate to advanced and last ran a 1:47 at CTMP DDT with worn Vitour Tempesta Enzo tires. I think I can run low 40s this year. I would not track with stock pads. I overheated my pads and brake fade hit hard. The pads melted and I went off the track and almost over the hill at TMP (Cayuga).

Brembo brakes, they look awesome and feel so much better than the wimpy brakes my BRZ had.

I got GT PP brembo brakes from shelby for ~500 dollars, including shipping. New front pads and rotors on them too.

I used DS2500 for my first 2 track days but outgrew them rather quickly on a 2800 lb car. Last time I swapped to DS1.11 and felt much more confident braking deeper into corners with zero fade at my intermediate level. Now I just use DS2500 for the street and canyons.

Brembo or Better Bosch for reliability for more dustless brakes.

I’m running Wagner oe+ on the rear = 160

Brembo pads = 60

Oem on the front 160 each on prl

Hawks 150

Did it all myself so roughly 700 and it feels better than it was before

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.

Used Brembo pads on my 535d, then gave them another try on my i30N. Will never buy again. Suitable only for casual, calm driving around the city. Overheat very easily, overall stopping performance got worse, brake pedal feeling became harder.
