I have on my front axle the AP Racing CP7600 BBKs. Works like a charm especially with Brembo ceramic brake pads. Only downside is the rust-like brake dust that comes out of the ceramic pads, causing my black rims to look rusted when it isn't. Nothing a car wash can't solve.
I order from Brembo or Brembos's from rockauto, same as what came on the car at less than 50% of the Audi price
I did a 288mm to 312mm upgrade on my wife's Golf wagon and used cross drilled Brembos with Brembo pads. Love the brake feeling with good bite.
That being said I use brembo pads on my mito which work very well, wouldn’t be that far off for the Giulia
Had Brembo. No complaints.
Amazingly, after 24.5K miles, i was down to 2mm on my front pads. I do live in Seattle and on a steep hill and drive with a heavier foot, so go figure I used up my brakes. Decided to put in Brembo ceramic pads and rotors for fun. Braking is different from stock. It’s definitely strong, yet, the initial bite isn’t as aggressive as OEM. I’ve grown to like this as it lets me be more precise with my braking. I can simply slow down lightly without drama, but push more and the brakes grab strongly and uniformly. They just feel more engineered.
I ride a Gt535 it has no ABS no rider modes none of those fancy electronics, but its got Brembo sintered brakes. They work flawlessly and bring the heavy machine to a stop.
Never scrimp on brake pads. However, personally I never buy OEM pads. Manufacturers just brand a brake manufacturers brakes and charge a premium for putting their logo on it. Get the part number and do your research to identify what brand the OEM part is. You should save money for the same brake pad. Otherwise, you could also save money by buying aftermarket pads by quality brands. Brembo, EBC, black diamond. You may find they are available, cheaper and better quality. Worth a look.
I have the same problem with brembo pads but only when the brakes are cold.The car is breaking good and the noise only last a few minutes. So its ok for me.
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.
