Brake pads Brembo or WAGNER

Brembos I put on have been amazing so far

Wagner thermoquiet here. Works perfectly.

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

I’ve used Wagner thermoquiet pads and the cheapest wholesale close out rotor with good results.

Bosch and Wagner rotors and ceramic pads are my preferred brands. I put new Wagner front brake pads on the Frontier 5 1/2 years ago and they still have about 3mm left.

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

The oem brakes on my 2012 were lackluster and kept seizing pins or calipers so I fixed the problem for good

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.
