Brake pads Brembo or OEM Nissan

A lot of the regular maintenance items are quite reasonable, brakes are off the shelf brembo and the front calipers are used on a lot of VW group cars, hell I even fitted a pair to my old Octy vRS.

Yes, its definitely worth it. The brake feel and performance gives you way more confidence in the car and you will cook the stock brakes pretty fast when you get aggressive with them on a track.

Mustan Dark Horse SC is available exclusively with Brembo brakes. Six-piston front calipers and four-piston rears with cast discs are standard and build on the record-setting 60-0 performance of the 5.0-liter Mustang Dark Horse

My buddy has a base 22 and has driven my 24 TR. He noted the Brembos have a much better bite to them.

Maintenance has been 4x brake pads, 2x rotors, 4/5 sets of tires. Air filters yearly, oil changes every 7k miles.

The OEM Sports brakes are just Brembo’s stickered as Infiniti.

I have the 2023 Rockcreek edition, and at 60,500 KM and regular maintenance, no problems to report. Had to do one wheel alignment so far, and change the brakes both front and back at around 48,000 KM which was the only problem. They need bigger brakes. But I also pull twice a year a trailer for vacations which is almost 4000 lbs. so i guess it might be normal.

But overall I’m happy with it.

22' with 45k miles and no issues besides a bad battery at the beginning they replaced and brakes don't last much longer than 20-25k miles.

I and most would recommend against getting the stock Brembo pads. They are far too soft and when they heat up, excess material sticks to the rotor causing the shaking under braking eventually.

Brembo are made under license and are rubbish.
