Brake pads Brembo or R1 Concepts

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.

If you DIY and have the tools I did front and rear brakes on my 340i with brembos for $725ish

I have 45k miles on my 2016 STI and just replaced all 4 rotors and pads with another set of Brembos. I don’t drive the car particularly hard and probably could have waited a bit longer but they are done now so I shouldn’t have to worry about them. Cost me about 1k all-in, parts and labor.

I just put some Brembro low met pads on out SQ5. They are more progressive bite, but I like them better than the Hawk HPS 5.0 on my S4. When you get on them they stop very well. Not sure on dust yet.

I recently installed Brembo pads. It cost around £150 for the whole set (1 pair at the back, 2 pairs for the front). But the new ones are day and night difference. It's now super sharp with amazing modulation.

Brembo pads are better than oem and cheaper through rock auto. Recommend oem rotors though.

We use (and sell / stock) the Brembo rotors and sport (HP2000) pads. Better performance than stock, perfectly streetable and equally capable for track days or tarmac rally. Great value too

I currently have OEM rotors and Brembo pads on the car. This bitch stops, but they’re the dustiest brakes i’ve ever had, and I only get about 7 months out of a front and rear set.

Rockauto carries Dynamic Friction kits. People will say "Rockauto is cheap shit" and then recommend R1 Concepts. But Dynamic Friction OWNS R1 Concepts and all of their pads and rotors are the same. Only difference is R1 does drilled and slotting while Dynamic are just blank rotors. So you really don't have to spend the extra money on R1 stuff. Also, you don't need slotted rotors for everyday driving. Heck, even some track guys still use blanks just fine. Only thing to worry about for track is pads, which I wouldn't recommend any of the R1 stuff for. Had one of their pads claiming both track and street but their pad material on one of their pads completely disintegrated on track.
