Brake pads Brembo or Centric
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
Yup. Many times. I use centric/raybestos on my race miata and on my dailies. I have been using the powerstop race pads too.
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.
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.
I usually buy Brembo.
I have Brembos on the front of my 09. Working great for me.
To save you money, they probably did not need to change right rear caliper if only your left one was seized. They also could’ve given you options for prices on brakes and rotors as it appears they quoted you for dealer quality brake pads.
I'm running a Trueno, which has the factory Brembos. With the stock pads at a track with a decent amount of braking demand (at which I've had more severe brake issues in several other cars), I get about half way into a session before they start to fade... not bad, but enough to notice reduced performance (firm pedal, just longer braking zones). There's no doubt that running an actual track pad that's meant for the heat will completely resolve the issue.
Brembos are street pads, they are designed to be low noise and low dust. They’re not for any sort of aggressive driving.
