Brake pads Brembo or OEM BMW

Im currently on Brembo Xtra with brembo pads and its really really good!

I have on my front axle the AP Racing CP7600 BBKs. Works like a charm especially with Brembo ceramic brake pads. Only downside is the rust-like brake dust that comes out of the ceramic pads, causing my black rims to look rusted when it isn't. Nothing a car wash can't solve.

I order from Brembo or Brembos's from rockauto, same as what came on the car at less than 50% of the Audi price

I did a 288mm to 312mm upgrade on my wife's Golf wagon and used cross drilled Brembos with Brembo pads. Love the brake feeling with good bite.

That being said I use brembo pads on my mito which work very well, wouldn’t be that far off for the Giulia

Had Brembo. No complaints.

Amazingly, after 24.5K miles, i was down to 2mm on my front pads. I do live in Seattle and on a steep hill and drive with a heavier foot, so go figure I used up my brakes. Decided to put in Brembo ceramic pads and rotors for fun. Braking is different from stock. It’s definitely strong, yet, the initial bite isn’t as aggressive as OEM. I’ve grown to like this as it lets me be more precise with my braking. I can simply slow down lightly without drama, but push more and the brakes grab strongly and uniformly. They just feel more engineered.

The amount of dust from Brembo pads never fails to drive me absolutely insane. Phenomenal brakes, but my god is cleaning the wheels constantly brutal.

My understanding is that the pads that bmw uses create a lot of brake dust because they are ‘soft’ to give a nice smooth pedal feel.

Same here. I basically drive a few times per week and clean the wheels at least twice!
