Brake pads Brembo or OEM Volkswagen

Since we had good luck with OE, went OE for replacements. So far, a few hundred miles in, all good.

I ride a Gt535 it has no ABS no rider modes none of those fancy electronics, but its got Brembo sintered brakes. They work flawlessly and bring the heavy machine to a stop.

Never scrimp on brake pads. However, personally I never buy OEM pads. Manufacturers just brand a brake manufacturers brakes and charge a premium for putting their logo on it. Get the part number and do your research to identify what brand the OEM part is. You should save money for the same brake pad. Otherwise, you could also save money by buying aftermarket pads by quality brands. Brembo, EBC, black diamond. You may find they are available, cheaper and better quality. Worth a look.

Had my Fortuner front pads replaced, Brembo Prime Ceramic Pads: 3500 lang kasama na install sa Jiga.

You can save on the brake pad prices, either buy the original parts from a shop in sharjah for much less or install Brembo Brake pads which also cost much less and are also very good quality.

I swapped front pads with a 13mm socket, hammer and drift pin. In about 30 mins in my driveway. $210, parts delivered from Amazon. Took the opportunity to scrub out calibers free from all the caked on brake dust. Cleaned the inside of the wheels while I was there. Dealership wanted $787 just for the front pads and quoted more than $1000 installed. Easiest job ever and saved $500-$700.

i had my brake pads and rotors replaced all round a month or two ago. mechanics quoted me $1000 but had it done by a family friend for around $700.

I have the same problem with brembo pads but only when the brakes are cold.The car is breaking good and the noise only last a few minutes. So its ok for me.

Same! This was after they quoted me over the phone that it would be $800. Fuck the dealership. Try to find you a good, honest mechanic. When you do, hold on to them tight and never let go.

Ended up paying $1,600 for all 4 pads and rotors on my 2016 STI.

Those Brembo pads that cost $500 a set are total trash, too. They are low friction and still real dusty. I threw mine in the trash at like 2000 miles.
