Yes, its definitely worth it. The brake feel and performance gives you way more confidence in the car and you will cook the stock brakes pretty fast when you get aggressive with them on a track.
Mustan Dark Horse SC is available exclusively with Brembo brakes. Six-piston front calipers and four-piston rears with cast discs are standard and build on the record-setting 60-0 performance of the 5.0-liter Mustang Dark Horse
My mk5 rabbit is on its 4th set of Powerstop pads in the rear since I swapped all four corners to their pads and rotors. The fronts will probably be changed this coming summer. They still have plenty of meat on them.
My buddy has a base 22 and has driven my 24 TR. He noted the Brembos have a much better bite to them.
Maintenance has been 4x brake pads, 2x rotors, 4/5 sets of tires. Air filters yearly, oil changes every 7k miles.
I have the same brakes in my time trial STI and they are a great upgrade.
I bought a bike off a coworker and took it in to be serviced. Turns out the bike I bought was the equivalent of a model T Ford. They didn't make the brake pads for my model any more kinda old.
Brake dust- so much brake dust.
I would stay away from ceramic Akebonos. Out of all ceramic pads I tried, they felt the most dangerous. They had close to zero initial bite and required three times the leg effort to brake.
I have a 2000 E39 that I’ve owned since new. About five years ago I got tired of the brake dust and decided to try Akebono’s. I regretted it as soon as I drove it for the first time. The BMW brake feel was gone and I had to press on the pedal twice as hard.
