Brake pads Brembo or DBA
Mk5 R32 OEM rotors and pads - made by Brembo and i believe are powder coated. They are lasting a long time and are very strong to abuse
Ric also got Renault to use Brembo brakes when he was racing for them.
Coming from stoptech sports. I got dba sport sp. ceramic pads. Same feel but no dust!
Couldn't answer your first two questions, but the last question about Brembo being reliable is a very solid "yes".
Brembo directly supply Mercedes with their brakes.
The camaro SS uses brembo pads which are really good hence the price tag (imo the quote you got is pretty reasonable). If you want a more cost effective alternative, hit up MSW autoparts and ask for Zlatko. They have EBC brake pads which are also really good aftermarket pads.
Brembo make some fantastic road-orientated sintered pads, they improved my Street Twin loads.
Running coated rockauto rotors (rust belt life) and brembo ceramic pads. Stops well for under 250 for all 4.
Brembo low dust pads and oem rotors on my 330ci. Rotors tend to warp easy on these so I figured I'd stick with bmw.
The amount of dust from Brembo pads never fails to drive me absolutely insane. Phenomenal brakes, but my god is cleaning the wheels constantly brutal.
For breaks, I will actually advise against the OEM stuff, because it’s really not that great, especially if you have the Brembo package. There are significantly better pads out there, the Brembo ones are hot garbage.
