Brake pads Brembo or Ferodo
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.
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.
Stock PP1 pads are Ferodo DS2500. Actually pretty good.
Brembo pads are better than oem and cheaper through rock auto. Recommend oem rotors though.
We use (and sell / stock) the Brembo rotors and sport (HP2000) pads. Better performance than stock, perfectly streetable and equally capable for track days or tarmac rally. Great value too
I have the same problem with brembo pads but only when the brakes are cold.The car is breaking good and the noise only last a few minutes. So its ok for me.
I currently have OEM rotors and Brembo pads on the car. This bitch stops, but they’re the dustiest brakes i’ve ever had, and I only get about 7 months out of a front and rear set.
My rear pads cracked after 3 months, 4k km of use.
