Brake pads Brembo or GALFER

I usually buy Brembo.

I have Brembos on the front of my 09. Working great for me.

I bought a set of brembo discs and pads, OEM spec. They work a treat and its much quicker to stop than oem brakes

New ceramic brembo brake pads all around. 10/25/2024

Drilled Brembo max rotors and Brembo pads

For the pads I went with:

Brembo Pad Set (P56048N + P54039N) for $110

I paid $25 ea. to have front rotors resurfaced at O’reilly and put brembo pads and new sensors on my wife’s 2017 Macan GTS for a grand total of $190 which included a new can of brake clean and new caliper bolts from Pelican.

Mine are done after 7400km (4900mile). I just replaced the stock tires with Pirelli Corsa 2 and the grip difference over stock is amazing, now need new brake pads. I am leaning toward brembo sintered.

Update: I went with Brembo SR which are the Sintered Racing pads for the front and SP compound for the rear. The remaining pad life on the front was about 10% and 80% for the rear. My fronts were missing pieces of pad.

It came with Brembo brakes, I have used them for about 75k miles and they are starting to make terrible noise especially when cold. They were making noise since maybe 40k miles but everytime i asked dealers to check the brakes they said they are fine. Even right now they brake perfectly fine but they make awful noise until they heat up.

I have Brembo brake pads and they are very noisy.
