I replaced the Brembo with the Zimmermann myself, so far so good, the original Brembo brakes warped after less than 15.000 km, I have now another 15.000 km driven with the Zimmermann and they are as good as new.

Pros: good as new
Cons: Brembo brakes warped
Mileage: 15000 km

I just installed front and rear brakes @90k on my MK7.5 GTI w/PP brakes with a kit from FCP Euro Zimmerman cross drilled font and rear with EBC Red Stuff pads. The price has gone up a good bit since then but its a good upgrade from stock imo.

Pros: good upgrade from stock
Vehicle: Volkswagen
Mileage: 90000 km

brake pads when they get worn (should be a lot less frequent than an ICE car, some bolt owners go 100-150k+ without wearing through their first Original set!)

Pros: less frequent replacement
Vehicle: Chevrolet Bolt

Not a classic. I had an ‘84. First brand new car. It was a surprisingly good and cheap car for when I went to uni. Had to replace the brakes often. Thought it was the cheap car. In retrospect it was likely my driving habits.

Pros: good and cheap car
Cons: replace brakes often
Vehicle: Chevrolet Chevette

A couple of months after purchase the breaks starting squeeking and a 1 1/2 years later they haven’t stopped. I have had the front ones replaced but I keep getting told it is due to no copper in the break pads anymore - I call BS to that. I also had to get a faulty sensor replaced for the front end because it was causing my car to abruptly stop when I attempted to pull off from a parked position. It was thinking something was in front of me so the front end collision thing was kicking in. I’ve also had to get the fuel injectors replaced because they went bad while in a road trip this summer. Luckily we were almost back home instead 800 miles away still. Currently waiting for rear breaks to come in so those can be replaced to hopefully stop this squeak.

Cons: squeaking brakes, faulty front sensor, bad fuel injectors
