On the GD’s I’m partial to the classic red but other than that my preference is my black GR brakes. Understated and don’t clash with anything.
Pros: understated, don't clash
Most you can do is Brembo X-tra pads or equivalent.

I am on my second Kia vehicle, and they both have been amazing. 100k miles on my optima when it was totaled, and only thing ever replaced were the brakes at like 80k miles, besides regular oil changes.
Pros: amazing, easy maintenance
Vehicle:
Kia Optima
Mileage: 128747 km
I found the GT3’s brakes to be very easy to modulate. They bite very quickly for carbon ceramics and give you the impression that they could bail you out of most situations. Since the GT3 feels so damn planted, braking also feels like a total non-event. You don’t feel the weight shifting forward in a dramatic fashion or anything like that, brake engagement feels very immediate.
Pros: easy to modulate, immediate engagement
Vehicle:
Porsche 911
Came across a set of bmw brembo brakes at an auto wrecker. Bought for $50, sold for $950.
Pros: good profit margin
Vehicle:
BMW
2024 prem plus with 50k miles and no major issues. At 6k miles the battery was defective and then at 11k miles and then again at 36k miles my front brakes were shot.
Pros: no major issues
Cons: defective battery, brakes shot
Vehicle:
Mazda
Mileage: 50000 km
My S4 needed brakes at around 30k. I had a couple dealerships price it out and it was about that.
Vehicle:
Audi S4
Mileage: 30000 km
I went to Northland VW this past spring for my 22 jetta, just for an oil change and inspection. Their oil change was close to $200 and then they said I needed my front brake pads and rotors changed. They quoted me close to $1000 for that, for just the front brakes!!! I went to lordco and bought the parts myself and got a local shop to put them on. Going that route cut the cost in half.
Pros: cut the cost in half
Cons: obscene prices
Vehicle:
Volkswagen Jetta
It had about 35k miles on it and the service rep said it failed due to the front brakes being worn down to the rotors.
Mileage: 56327 km
