Brake pads Brembo or R1 Concepts

I just put Brembos on my s60 and they are great.

I have 336mm factory Brembo pads/rotors and they have no issue bringing my moose to cornering speeds on track.

The Brembo brakes are a joy in the mountains, honestly. They get up to temp fast, just a few corners, and the already-good feel they have just goes to a next level of feedback and precision.

I havent had an issue with them in 2 years.

Brembo, funny part its cheap Did the set in my daily Kia including NAO cermaic brake pads. Way better than OE and no dust.

Mk5 R32 OEM rotors and pads - made by Brembo and i believe are powder coated. They are lasting a long time and are very strong to abuse

I used the R1 concepts drilled and slotted kit with pads. Front and rear total was like 500 bucks. Did it myself. They work great.

Mine are done after 7400km (4900mile). I just replaced the stock tires with Pirelli Corsa 2 and the grip difference over stock is amazing, now need new brake pads. I am leaning toward brembo sintered.

Update: I went with Brembo SR which are the Sintered Racing pads for the front and SP compound for the rear. The remaining pad life on the front was about 10% and 80% for the rear. My fronts were missing pieces of pad.

It came with Brembo brakes, I have used them for about 75k miles and they are starting to make terrible noise especially when cold. They were making noise since maybe 40k miles but everytime i asked dealers to check the brakes they said they are fine. Even right now they brake perfectly fine but they make awful noise until they heat up.

So akebono also makes original mazda brake pads. You see the stamp on the box and brake pads it self. Brembo sucks for normal cars. Had brembo and with in a year less than 15k miles, they need to be replaced.
