Brake pads Brembo or OEM KIA

If your car is spec'd for Brembo brake pads, they probably weren't fully needed in yet, which is 100% normal.

Brembo off Ebay. Their brakes last 75k and they're so popular they are scalped from the manufacturers website in minutes lol!

I ended up buying the brembo pads after getting power stop. These brakes can squeak so go for the gold.

I did this with mine and they have been great so far, while saving some money.

The brembos make a big difference.

Brembo SA/SP material for good performance price ratio.

Brembo LA material for longevity vs performance ratio.

I use brembro all the time, and they honestly last longer I think. I use them on my 9-3 2.8V6 convertible

Edit: I used the M-tec rotates drilled and grooved with the brembro brakes, front and rear

My braking is much better especially on a long drive with hot days, no brake fade at all

Bei ganz normalen Scheiben (ohne Schlitze und Löcher) wird es kaum einen Unterschied zwischen ATE und Brembo geben. Beim Thema Beläge ist definitiv Brembo besser. Brembo sind aber ehr Performance Beläge, zwar nicht auf Track Level, aber für die erhöhte Leistung ist halt auch mit höheren Verschleiß zu rechnen. Bei einem 0815 A nach B Auto reicht ATE völlig.

Discs are the ones it came with from the factory, pads are Brembo (M Performance brakes on 340i)

My brakes are overheating when I break the car from around 190kph (118mph) to around 30kph (19mph), I smell the brakes burning and see a lot of brake dust on the wheel. Even the brakes feel a bit spongy for a while after, but it firms back up.
