Brake pads Brembo or OEM Nissan

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.

This years projects are all done.. finally got the rear big brakes finished and they came out great.. a lot of work but, brake pedal feel is just as good as with the fronts only, and this thing will make your teeth fly out when you put them down.

The pedal feels f*ckin awesome, and holy **** do these things stop.

I have Brembo brake pads for my Toyota Avalon.They definitely perform a bit better than regular,non-ceramic brake pads.

There are more choices now for aftermarket pads for the RS. The RS Brembo calipers use a distinct pad shape that isn't common. A lot of guys use Mountune, or EBC. Race Tech, the US Brembo Distributor, has TS20 (track/street) front and rear pads that have better performance and less dust that the stock pads.

I have Brembo front pads. Feel very OEM but with a modest decrease in brake dust.

But I will say the pads are great, they stop well, they never squeak...but man my iron-x budget is going fast.

I've got factory Brembo's on my 2014 Jeep GC SRT...it took some getting used to when driving as the brakes are very responsive!

I have the R56S brakes on my R53, and I've had Brembo ceramic pads and cross-drilled rotors since I installed the calipers a little over a year ago. I'd recommend the pads, although I can't comment on how much they dust, because I have white wheels and any dust on them seems like a lot. The drilled rotors look awesome and perform really well, but my issue is that they have slightly warped since I put them on last year. If you decide to go the Brembo route, I'd probably recommend doing the slotted rotors instead of the drilled to prevent the warping.

switching to a new set of stockers showed me exactly how different the dimensions are. they look the same, but the fit is no where near the correct size for these carriers. the brembo pads bounced around like crazy. its alright i was able to return them but i was hoping to get rid of dust. maybe ill try to get a replacement set and see if they fit any better
