Brake pads Brembo or TRW

My Polestar 2 has 3 levels of OPD which is awesome. My brakes are still fairly new and I have 34800 miles on it as of today. I very rarely use the friction brakes unless I take it to the track and thats when the Brembos brakes all around really work.

Brembos I put on have been amazing so far

"TRW LUCAS MCB54" organics are great. I am currently riding the "EBC FA29V Semi Sintered" but the bite point isn't as good as the TRW.

I've got the rs5 with ceramic front brakes, I'm looking to get the pads replaced, back ones are 100 for a genuine set, but front ones are nearly 1000 for a genuine set?! I inspect my front pads and see they are made by brembo and have audi branding on it. A little bit a research and I find OE equivalent pads from brembo for only 240. They felt the exact same to me on the track.

brembo. better than the bmw ones

Brembo brakes, they look awesome and feel so much better than the wimpy brakes my BRZ had.

I got GT PP brembo brakes from shelby for ~500 dollars, including shipping. New front pads and rotors on them too.

remember there are 5-7 different brake pad manufacture's that VW uses and slaps their logo on it. Buying from dealer or third party with a VW logo on it doesn't mean they are exactly perfect. its a shame that VW charges those prices and still have this issue, yet you could buy jane plane TRW/ATE pads and be fine.

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.
