Brake pads Brembo or DIXCEL
That being said I use brembo pads on my mito which work very well, wouldn’t be that far off for the Giulia
Had Brembo. No complaints.
Amazingly, after 24.5K miles, i was down to 2mm on my front pads. I do live in Seattle and on a steep hill and drive with a heavier foot, so go figure I used up my brakes. Decided to put in Brembo ceramic pads and rotors for fun. Braking is different from stock. It’s definitely strong, yet, the initial bite isn’t as aggressive as OEM. I’ve grown to like this as it lets me be more precise with my braking. I can simply slow down lightly without drama, but push more and the brakes grab strongly and uniformly. They just feel more engineered.
I ride a Gt535 it has no ABS no rider modes none of those fancy electronics, but its got Brembo sintered brakes. They work flawlessly and bring the heavy machine to a stop.
Never scrimp on brake pads. However, personally I never buy OEM pads. Manufacturers just brand a brake manufacturers brakes and charge a premium for putting their logo on it. Get the part number and do your research to identify what brand the OEM part is. You should save money for the same brake pad. Otherwise, you could also save money by buying aftermarket pads by quality brands. Brembo, EBC, black diamond. You may find they are available, cheaper and better quality. Worth a look.
Had my Fortuner front pads replaced, Brembo Prime Ceramic Pads: 3500 lang kasama na install sa Jiga.
You can save on the brake pad prices, either buy the original parts from a shop in sharjah for much less or install Brembo Brake pads which also cost much less and are also very good quality.
I swapped front pads with a 13mm socket, hammer and drift pin. In about 30 mins in my driveway. $210, parts delivered from Amazon. Took the opportunity to scrub out calibers free from all the caked on brake dust. Cleaned the inside of the wheels while I was there. Dealership wanted $787 just for the front pads and quoted more than $1000 installed. Easiest job ever and saved $500-$700.
OE benz brakes have small depressions drilled in to the face of the rotors. When those disappear, you need new brakes. If you see dimples, go on to the next square...I have a 2019 C43. Second set of pads front, Second set rear, 106k miles. My wear indicators are almost gone, so I have a set of OE brembo rotors and Benz pads sitting on the shelf. I am waiting for the dashboard warning light...front and rear have a sensor that will alert you when you are almost done.
I've had issues with my EuroCarPart "Brembo" pads overheating to the point of squealing for a couple of miles after some spirited driving.
