Today i had replace my rotors cause are very warped both, and get installed the textar front discs with brembo ceramic pads... \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffc Im tired of cleaning the front rims every 2 days.
The OEM Brembo pads aren't bad at all. Mine squeak here and there, but rarely. No stopping power issues. They dust a lot.
owning a vehicle with Brembo's on it: they are really excellent brakes.
Brembo brakes generally have no problems.
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.
There good cars with excellent visibility, but single digit MPG in the city and eats brakes and rotors.
Wow, can't believe you're cutting costs on brakes. You state that you have the speed limiter removed and still you are questioning the brakes? IMO the biggest dumbass move
