A lot of the regular maintenance items are quite reasonable, brakes are off the shelf brembo and the front calipers are used on a lot of VW group cars, hell I even fitted a pair to my old Octy vRS.
Yes, its definitely worth it. The brake feel and performance gives you way more confidence in the car and you will cook the stock brakes pretty fast when you get aggressive with them on a track.
Mustan Dark Horse SC is available exclusively with Brembo brakes. Six-piston front calipers and four-piston rears with cast discs are standard and build on the record-setting 60-0 performance of the 5.0-liter Mustang Dark Horse
My buddy has a base 22 and has driven my 24 TR. He noted the Brembos have a much better bite to them.
The OEM Sports brakes are just Brembo’s stickered as Infiniti.
If you’re going to track it. I’d get the STI just for the better brakes alone.
after getting the calipers and repairing the threads and installing i noticed these brembo nao pads dont like to just slide into the calipers. Seems like the material on the outside of the pads is a little thick? Theres no debris or warping of that metal shim piece that I can eyeball. Is this common? Im reading alot of people sanding the outside edges to get them to slide in smoothly?
I’ve got the brembos and sometimes the squeak when cold but they don’t make any other sounds
A couple of months after purchase the breaks starting squeeking and a 1 1/2 years later they haven’t stopped. I have had the front ones replaced but I keep getting told it is due to no copper in the break pads anymore - I call BS to that. I also had to get a faulty sensor replaced for the front end because it was causing my car to abruptly stop when I attempted to pull off from a parked position. It was thinking something was in front of me so the front end collision thing was kicking in. I’ve also had to get the fuel injectors replaced because they went bad while in a road trip this summer. Luckily we were almost back home instead 800 miles away still. Currently waiting for rear breaks to come in so those can be replaced to hopefully stop this squeak.
I and most would recommend against getting the stock Brembo pads. They are far too soft and when they heat up, excess material sticks to the rotor causing the shaking under braking eventually.
