I got the brembo pads from autozone. They squealed a little for about 100 miles but are quite now. The car has some crazy stopping power, it is the S model.
While my TR's Brembo's are great but it won't matter if other conditions aren't met.
Brembo is a performance brake company. The brakes can last a pretty long time. They don't wear down fast, and perform fantastic.
Put a light cut on em and a set of Brembo pads and sent it. Good to go.
I’ve used kits like this before and that one is spot on. I have Brembo discs and pads on my car now, and do notice a bit more bite from the pedal this time, which is amwbag I was looking for. The downside is the brakes need a bit more heat in them before they’re effective, which is not the case with the Sebro/Textar setup.
i had this same work done on mine after i brought her home last year. cost about the same (im in a HCOL area). did the air filters myself, saved a few bucks. but everything else: brakes, spark plugs, etc... 08's are a .1, if its yours, might as well add in a borescopes through the plugs for piece of mind!
Pads and tyres affect braking the most, the actual discs themselves matter much less. Just get some higher tier metallic brake pads and you should be good. I would go for Brembo Extra pads personally.
The oem brakes on my 2012 were lackluster and kept seizing pins or calipers so I fixed the problem for good
To save you money, they probably did not need to change right rear caliper if only your left one was seized. They also could’ve given you options for prices on brakes and rotors as it appears they quoted you for dealer quality brake pads.
Brembos are street pads, they are designed to be low noise and low dust. They’re not for any sort of aggressive driving.
