Brake pads Brembo or OEM Mercedes
You've been quoted £1150 FOR A BRAKE JOB?! To put it into perspective, you can get fairly high end pads and discs (Brembo and the likes) for around £4-500 if you look around, and the job takes 2 hours tops.
Yea I think they’re 80 on the brembo sight.
I used brembo brakes for mine, which I do like. I did also use raybestos element 3 rotors and pads which I also did like.
Ordered brembo brakes (fronts and rears 4 pots) from the same gen Camaro for my VE SSV from Amazon in the US and got it shipped to AUS. Later on found genuine Camaro wheels in SA that I bought for the Commy. Looked the tits and car really pulled up hard. Great upgrade.
Naka brembo ata yan eh ahhaha
Brembo sintered for 2k \ud83e\udd2f
I had Brembo rotors and ceramic pads front and rear on my 2017 V60 T5. Rotors were fine, the pads wore out ridiculously fast. Switched to Akebono pads and was much happier. They lasted literally twice as long.
I put some Brembo prime pads on my S80 I had them on before and were pretty solid, until they were about 80% worn and braking performance fell off a cliff Put new prime pads all round and for the first 2k miles they were amazing, very sharp brake feel but again performance started to degraded noticeably From cold they're crap, after about 5 minutes of driving when they warm up they bite as they should, also dust like mad, I left a 3 star review on AutoDoc and they gave me a full refund citing this could be a potential warranty issue, although I reckon that's them not wanting bad reviews on their site I'm probably going to go for Bosch next as that's the OEM Volvo use
Used Brembo pads on my 535d, then gave them another try on my i30N. Will never buy again. Suitable only for casual, calm driving around the city. Overheat very easily, overall stopping performance got worse, brake pedal feeling became harder.
Brembos are street pads, they are designed to be low noise and low dust. They’re not for any sort of aggressive driving.
