Brake pads Brembo or OEM FORD

OEM FORD Brake pads

We bought a 2011 Ford Focus everything looked good, drove well. I took it in for a service and front brake pads were down to 2mm. Cost me $1050 for an essential service and repair but now I have peace of mind.

Pros: peace of mind
Cons: brake pads worn
Vehicle: Ford Focus

Brembo Brake pads

Brembo is a good brand when it comes to rotors and ceramic brake pads. I got a pair of rotors and ceramic brake pads for 280ish CAD plus shipping and taxes.

Pros: good brand

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.

Pros: amazing grip, good rear pads
Cons: front pads wore quickly
Mileage: 7400 km

Rating 3.0

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.

Pros: brake perfectly fine
Cons: terrible noise when cold
Mileage: 75000 km
