And even the normal things they need are a little pricier than on normal cars; you might need ($300) brake pads and ($1,000) brake rotors in 50,000 or 60,000 miles instead of just ($250) brake pads.

Pros: normal things needed

Cons: little pricier than normal

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 50000 km

The Stinger is notorious for this same problem—I know first hand. Sad part is don’t let Kia touch it because the problem is the brake pad. OE pad material adheres to the rotor.

Pros: OE pad material adheres

Cons: brake shudder-vibration

Vehicle: Kia

I wouldn\u2019t get them again. Occasionally noisy at low speed, very unsettling brake feel in heavy rain/water, debris can get trapped between the caliber and wheel creating an ungodly noise. That being said, I have 82k miles on mine and still original pads.

Pros: original pads, 82k miles

Cons: noisy at low speed, unsettling brake feel

Vehicle: BMW

Mileage: 131200 km
