Brake pads Brembo or OEM KIA

OEM KIA Brake pads

I am driving a 2012 Kia rio hatchback daily. Over the period I did regular maintenance such as oil changes and some minor fluid changes. Changed tires twice and replaced front suspension parts and break pads once over 13 years of ownership.

Pros: regular maintenance, drives fine
Vehicle: Kia Rio
Mileage: 115000 km

Rating 5.0

You've been quoted £1150 FOR A BRAKE JOB?! To put it into perspective, you can get fairly high end pads and discs (Brembo and the likes) for around £4-500 if you look around, and the job takes 2 hours tops.

Pros: high end parts available
Cons: expensive dealer quote
Vehicle: Volvo XC60

I had Brembo rotors and ceramic pads front and rear on my 2017 V60 T5. Rotors were fine, the pads wore out ridiculously fast. Switched to Akebono pads and was much happier. They lasted literally twice as long.

Pros: Akebono pads long lasting
Cons: Brembo pads wore out fast

Brembo Brake pads

Used Brembo pads on my 535d, then gave them another try on my i30N. Will never buy again. Suitable only for casual, calm driving around the city. Overheat very easily, overall stopping performance got worse, brake pedal feeling became harder.

Cons: overheat easily, worse performance
