Brake pads Brembo or Carbotech
I’m running Wagner oe+ on the rear = 160
Brembo pads = 60
Oem on the front 160 each on prl
Hawks 150
Did it all myself so roughly 700 and it feels better than it was before
Pair of brembo replacements is 200ish pads hawks like 80 rears just use centric rotors and hawk pads it should be under 600 to do all 4 yourself this car is pretty easy to do.
I went with Brembo OE ceramic pads and their cross drilled rotors. Bit better bite than stock, IMO. Not very noisy and dust is about the same as stock
I've always used Brembo as long as it's available. In my experience, it's always been an upgrade to use brembo branded pads and when changing cars. No noises, nice feel, predictable. I don't do any hard driving, like track days or anything, but for road trips across mountains with full loads and all types of weather, they always gave me confidence.
I use Carbotech xp10 in the front, xp8 in the rears. Love them. Semi heavy car but they feel great the entire weekend. They are very loud on street though
I went from EBC to Carbotech. It’s a night and day difference. I’m running XP8, but my car is very light.
Brembo is a good brand when it comes to rotors and ceramic brake pads. I got a pair of rotors and ceramic brake pads for 280ish CAD plus shipping and taxes.
Did you upgrade to drilled and slotted rotors? I did brembo metallic pads and brembo drilled n slotted in my e46 and they felt like that from the rip. Keep in mind if you’re upgrading to something that is meant for tracking then u kind of sacrifice comfort.
Mine are done after 7400km (4900mile). I just replaced the stock tires with Pirelli Corsa 2 and the grip difference over stock is amazing, now need new brake pads. I am leaning toward brembo sintered.
Update: I went with Brembo SR which are the Sintered Racing pads for the front and SP compound for the rear. The remaining pad life on the front was about 10% and 80% for the rear. My fronts were missing pieces of pad.
Ein Problem bei den Brembo Belägen die ich hatte war aber immer dass die nach ein paar tausend km quietschen wie Sau. Ließ sich auch nicht nachhaltig beheben.
