Brake pads Brembo or OEM BMW

Brakes are Brembo's from a Evo 9, i used a adapter kit for Eclipse's and bolted right up but is slightly clocked down (Which i kind of like).

New brakes Brembo Max in front and Brembo in back

Brakes i try and stick with Brembo, they seem to be the best from all the ones I've tried on the race bikes, they do enough compounds that you can really fine tune what type of riding you're doing as well.

I think I figured out why the brakes are so weird feeling. Even after I got them to firm up, they never really felt like I'm used to in my old STI or 911. I bought OBD11 to make some changes for track and had an ah ha moment. The last change to make was for hydraulic brake assist, but I couldn't get it to work in OBD11 because I didn't have the correct security code. Took a couple of days to find it, but I drove around with the other changes and brakes felt the same. I finally found the code and deactivated Hydraulic brake assistance in the 03 module and they brakes actually work like a normal car now. Holy cow, night and day difference.

This years projects are all done.. finally got the rear big brakes finished and they came out great.. a lot of work but, brake pedal feel is just as good as with the fronts only, and this thing will make your teeth fly out when you put them down.

The pedal feels f*ckin awesome, and holy **** do these things stop.

M3 stock brakes are better, the GTI gets a little tail-happy under hard braking above 110-130mph.

I have Brembo brake pads for my Toyota Avalon.They definitely perform a bit better than regular,non-ceramic brake pads.

My local Bavarian car specialist refuses to install ceramic pads and will only do OEM due to low performance in the cold and increased wear on rotors. I was looking forward to less brake dust, especially on the front, but I live on top of one of the steepest hills in the city. I now have OEM pads.

switching to a new set of stockers showed me exactly how different the dimensions are. they look the same, but the fit is no where near the correct size for these carriers. the brembo pads bounced around like crazy. its alright i was able to return them but i was hoping to get rid of dust. maybe ill try to get a replacement set and see if they fit any better
