Brake pads Brembo or Bendix
I use Brembo Ceramic brake pads on my Mini Cooper S and Brembo rotors. Less dust, no noise.
They are Brembo brakes so can be done anywhere.
If your car is spec'd for Brembo brake pads, they probably weren't fully needed in yet, which is 100% normal.
Brake pad? Bendix
Brembo off Ebay. Their brakes last 75k and they're so popular they are scalped from the manufacturers website in minutes lol!
I ended up buying the brembo pads after getting power stop. These brakes can squeak so go for the gold.
I had Brembo rotors and ceramic pads front and rear on my 2017 V60 T5. Rotors were fine, the pads wore out ridiculously fast. Switched to Akebono pads and was much happier. They lasted literally twice as long.
On the surface this looks fine, but w203s don't have fancy brakes. Bendix's for these are only $50-90. So they've hidden a lot of labour in that "pad" price. then they've charged you half an hour to change the discs as well. if the calipers are off the discs take about 1 minute each to change. Then did the discs really need changing? these are basic brakes. you can go 2 for 1 on discs to pads on these no problems. it may be they did need doing, but it may be they didn't. So, I'd say, it's not a rip off, compared to say a Stealer, but there is still a bit of fluff in this.
Brembo may have great stopping power but if this is the shelf life of their products definitely regret optioning them.
Nie wieder Brembo! Bei mir haben sich die Beläge aufgelöst und die Scheiben waren auch nach kurzer Zeit komplett hin. Ich bin ca. 15-20.000 km gefahren und musste dann alles wieder komplett wechseln. Ich war wirklich unfassbar enttäuscht weil ich dachte mit Brembo macht man alles richtig.
