There are more choices now for aftermarket pads for the RS. The RS Brembo calipers use a distinct pad shape that isn't common. A lot of guys use Mountune, or EBC. Race Tech, the US Brembo Distributor, has TS20 (track/street) front and rear pads that have better performance and less dust that the stock pads.
I have Brembo front pads. Feel very OEM but with a modest decrease in brake dust.
But I will say the pads are great, they stop well, they never squeak...but man my iron-x budget is going fast.
I just had my sister-in-law's 2008 Highlander in my garage on Sunday after she professed that at 150k miles that the brakes were finally making some noise. I ordered a round of rotors and pads and intended to spend a few hours replacing the brakes and the blower motor for the front, as it has been a bit inconsistent in operation. I put the Highlander up on jackstands and pulled the wheels off, and the brakes looked like they had about 10k miles on them.. I was just stunned. I ended up just putting some brake squeal compound on the back of the pads and sent her on her way. They are truly robust and under-rated vehicles.
I've got factory Brembo's on my 2014 Jeep GC SRT...it took some getting used to when driving as the brakes are very responsive!
Around $2200 for a full brake job on my Jeep SRT's Brembo brakes! Stops on a friggin' dime too!
He also really likes the responsiveness of the brakes.
Brakes.. It's been said, but cost more to replace, are heavier but more powerful, so an advantage from that standpoint.
I have the R56S brakes on my R53, and I've had Brembo ceramic pads and cross-drilled rotors since I installed the calipers a little over a year ago. I'd recommend the pads, although I can't comment on how much they dust, because I have white wheels and any dust on them seems like a lot. The drilled rotors look awesome and perform really well, but my issue is that they have slightly warped since I put them on last year. If you decide to go the Brembo route, I'd probably recommend doing the slotted rotors instead of the drilled to prevent the warping.
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
