Brake pads Brembo or OEM Mazda
4 years ago I had my daughter, before taking my 2008 Mazda 6 back to college with her, install new Brembo "OE"/standard type pad sets front and rear and new Brembo rotors in the front. The front pads and rotors were so thick that the caliper piston cups had to be ENTIRELY retracted into the pistons to fit over them. After completion of the job and the performance of the pad/rotor break-in procedure, the already capable car was turned into a braking performance monster. It was like if you depressed the brake pedal a millimeter the car would start to decelerate markedly! And rapid stops were unbelievable quick and drama free. So I absolutely recommend Brembo products (have installed Brembo pads on 2 SUVs as well) and have always been impressed with the results!!
The fronts are basic Brembo, so as long as the mech. is competent that shouldn’t be an issue.
I put in cheap ceramic genuine Brembo pads in my Kia, stops on a dime.
A popular way to get bigger brakes on your Honda civic is taking the brembos from an Acura TL.
The OEM brembo pads and rotors on my Subaru would leave a lot of buildup for sure. A couple good hard brakes and it was clear.
I replaced all brake pads and rotors about a month ago on my 2014 Honda Civic EX with Brembo pads and rotors. So far they're working great, huge improvement over the warped front rotors and the warn pads before.
Some pads make more noise than others, I'm not going to use Brembo pads on my car again, they aren't making bad noises, just regular brake sounds at a slightly higher volume than my previous Napa brand ceramic pads.
Today i had replace my rotors cause are very warped both, and get installed the textar front discs with brembo ceramic pads... \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffc Im tired of cleaning the front rims every 2 days.
I suggest you read reviews of a guy that went with TT RS brakes on his car. It's got what IMO are some bad side effects... I think they're complete over kill for our car.
Wow, can't believe you're cutting costs on brakes. You state that you have the speed limiter removed and still you are questioning the brakes? IMO the biggest dumbass move
