My Polestar 2 has 3 levels of OPD which is awesome. My brakes are still fairly new and I have 34800 miles on it as of today. I very rarely use the friction brakes unless I take it to the track and thats when the Brembos brakes all around really work.
Brembos I put on have been amazing so far
I've got the rs5 with ceramic front brakes, I'm looking to get the pads replaced, back ones are 100 for a genuine set, but front ones are nearly 1000 for a genuine set?! I inspect my front pads and see they are made by brembo and have audi branding on it. A little bit a research and I find OE equivalent pads from brembo for only 240. They felt the exact same to me on the track.
brembo. better than the bmw ones
I went to Stoptech Street pads at 35k miles on the fronts only, took care of the issue after a few bed-in runs. Still no shudder at 75k and original rotors
Grimmspeed MCB, STOPTECH Sport package (pads, rotors, lines) and the GR86 Shock/Strut retrofit.
Brembo brakes, they look awesome and feel so much better than the wimpy brakes my BRZ had.
To save you money, they probably did not need to change right rear caliper if only your left one was seized. They also could’ve given you options for prices on brakes and rotors as it appears they quoted you for dealer quality brake pads.
I'm running a Trueno, which has the factory Brembos. With the stock pads at a track with a decent amount of braking demand (at which I've had more severe brake issues in several other cars), I get about half way into a session before they start to fade... not bad, but enough to notice reduced performance (firm pedal, just longer braking zones). There's no doubt that running an actual track pad that's meant for the heat will completely resolve the issue.
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.
