I have Brembos on the front of my 09. Working great for me.
I bought a set of brembo discs and pads, OEM spec. They work a treat and its much quicker to stop than oem brakes
I went in for a 30k service (2021 Ascent) and mentioned the brake judder and warranty extension. They confirmed and ordered the parts (pads and rotors), awaiting parts now but it seems it will be all be covered.
New ceramic brembo brake pads all around. 10/25/2024
Drilled Brembo max rotors and Brembo pads
For the pads I went with:
Brembo Pad Set (P56048N + P54039N) for $110
I've looked online to see what the front brake pads and discs for my 987.1 Cayman S cost. Brake discs from Brembo cost 103 euros each and a set (4 pieces) of brake pads, also from Brembo, costs 65 euros, so in total the material costs 270 euros.
Reacquainting with traditional brakes felt strange. Kept releasing the accelerator, expecting it to brake. Takes getting used to.
I have Brembo brake pads and they are very noisy.
So akebono also makes original mazda brake pads. You see the stamp on the box and brake pads it self. Brembo sucks for normal cars. Had brembo and with in a year less than 15k miles, they need to be replaced.
