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.
Brembo HH Sintered Pads Upgrade. Worth it!
I just put Brembos on my s60 and they are great.
I have 336mm factory Brembo pads/rotors and they have no issue bringing my moose to cornering speeds on track.
The Brembo brakes are a joy in the mountains, honestly. They get up to temp fast, just a few corners, and the already-good feel they have just goes to a next level of feedback and precision.
Almost never, this is a picture of my front driver brake pads after 80,000mi. They are above 90% 2017 Bolt.
Did you upgrade to drilled and slotted rotors? I did brembo metallic pads and brembo drilled n slotted in my e46 and they felt like that from the rip. Keep in mind if you’re upgrading to something that is meant for tracking then u kind of sacrifice comfort.
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.
We had a red one when I was a kid. Red with black interior. We put some 90s appropriate chrome wheels on it. Tons of good memories cruising around in that thing. I thought it looked so good, but it had the smaller V6 so it was dog slow and the brakes were terrible.
