Brake pads Brembo or R1 Concepts

I did this with mine and they have been great so far, while saving some money.

The brembos make a big difference.

Brembo SA/SP material for good performance price ratio.

Brembo LA material for longevity vs performance ratio.

I use brembro all the time, and they honestly last longer I think. I use them on my 9-3 2.8V6 convertible

Edit: I used the M-tec rotates drilled and grooved with the brembro brakes, front and rear

My braking is much better especially on a long drive with hot days, no brake fade at all

The brakes that come with the performance package have plenty of stopping power and never leave you wanting for more.

Uro Tuning has the best price on OE level replacement Brembo Prime rotors and pads. Bonus: the pads are quite a bit less dusty

Surprisingly, R1 Concepts Track Pads. They have been really great on the track (3800lb/310hp? car).

I left them on my daily since I am too lazy to change out the pads and they have been on for about 6 months and a few track days. They are great for the street and track but dusty as hell. They only make noise when it’s cold outside other wise they are fine.

500 is kinda a lot for just front pads and rotors, i bought a set of Brembo from rock auto for my 2021, it was like 178$ with tax and shipping and i did it my self in under an hour, its actually really easy if you have a set of basic tools and a c-clamp, id run your finger on the outside lip of the rotor if you have a edge replace if not id just replace break pads.

Bei ganz normalen Scheiben (ohne Schlitze und Löcher) wird es kaum einen Unterschied zwischen ATE und Brembo geben. Beim Thema Beläge ist definitiv Brembo besser. Brembo sind aber ehr Performance Beläge, zwar nicht auf Track Level, aber für die erhöhte Leistung ist halt auch mit höheren Verschleiß zu rechnen. Bei einem 0815 A nach B Auto reicht ATE völlig.

My brakes are overheating when I break the car from around 190kph (118mph) to around 30kph (19mph), I smell the brakes burning and see a lot of brake dust on the wheel. Even the brakes feel a bit spongy for a while after, but it firms back up.
