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.
I swapped out to EBC pads and rotors. And won't go back to OEM.
Running red stuff pads and slotted EBC rotors on my daily. Stops fast enough to peel your face off. No noise now that I've rebuilt the calipers and made sure that everything is able to move properly.
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.
Fresh front brakes, Zimmerman blanks with EBC Bluestuff, hopefully these do better than the yellows. Pedal feel with the Endless fluid was consistent as well.
I ran EBC Redstuff on my 09 R56 and they were great. Very nice sporty braking but it wasn't overly aggressive and the noise and dust was pretty low. Made for a great daily driver with better than stock braking.
Have EBC redstuffs on rear wheels of my XF 25t. Good breaking, silent, but now at half pad started to make a lot of dust (much more then genuine factory fitted Jag pads still at the front) so I will change them when the time comes and go back to Jag pads.
People on the internet always talk trash about ebc yellow, and I assumed it was just internet trash talk. This post is 100% accurate though, they absolutely disappeared on the track.
