I might get scolded by the purest, but I went with these R1 Concepts on my 2019 X5.\n\nI too was shocked when the dealer quoted over 2k for brakes, so I started looking at options. I\u2019ve had them for about two years, they have performed excellent and they look amazing.

Pros: performed excellent, look amazing

Vehicle: BMW X5

Mileage: 180000 km

My Tesla has huge rear brakes I hardly ever use. The factory brake pads still look brand new after all these miles. Rear brakes are pointless if you have regen braking.

Pros: brake pads look brand new

Cons: rear brakes are pointless

I would suggest going to [www.buybrakes.com](http://www.buybrakes.com) and get the R1 Concepts pads for the front and rear. The ones Rockauto has growl a little bit.

Pros: good quality

Cons: growl a little bit

Vehicle: Hyundai Genesis

To be fair Tesla brakes are not great. Combined with regen? Sure it’s adequate, but drive a German vehicle and see what brakes are about.

Pros: adequate with regen

Cons: brakes are not great

I had a colleague with brake failure on a model 3. The first thing he did after insurance paying for the crash, and hearing he'd be out of his car for at least 3 months was to order a real car, a Mazda.

Cons: brake failure
