Brake pads Brembo or WAGNER
I recently bought brembo pads and rotors for my 330 e46 , got a great deal on them
I've been using Brembo pads for more than 300km after bedding. The package is super tidy. It came with an installation manual. The pad looks beautifully made. The materials feel nice. The Brembo is way more smoother than the OEM (Textar). Textar is more harsh, especially in traffic. I swapped the pads with Brembo and the problem of stopping smoothly went away instantly. It creates way less dust than Textar.
That would be Eicher disks and Brembo pads.
I'm in the UK and just got a good deal on Brembo disks and pads which I think are pretty good. Definitely avoid own brand stuff from parts stores. The Honda disks and pads are really good but a lot more than the Brembos cost. I also got a remanufactured genuine Nissin caliper which was remanufactured by Bendix for less than 1/3 cost of a new one.
The best pads out there right now are the Wagner OEX pads cuz they're built on a galvanized steel backing plate with a mechanical fastening system for the friction material instead of glue. They don't rust out like plain steel pads
I use brembo pads from ecstuning.com , dont buy parts on amazon or from china when you have a much better source available. I have ECS's own 2 piece rotors on front and brembo rotors on rear, my braking is really powerful and has lasted a long time despite what people say about ceramic pads and drilled/slotted rotors
Wagner OEX brake pads are some of the best around. They're built on a galvanized steel backing plate to reduce rust and the pad material is connected to the plate with a mechanical attachment system instead of glue. Wagner is a Tier 1 supplier to several carmakers.
Brembos are super dusty, amazing pads but they leave my alloys covered in dust within a week.
I have a 2017 BRZ with the Performance package 34k miles. Brembo's squeal when slowing down at around 5-15mph. The dealership can't figure out why it's squealing. I found some forums where brake squeals are normal for Brembo.
My brakes are starting to squeak so I contacted my local Subaru dealership to get quoted on my front brakes as the rear are still in good condition. They quoted me for $1200 to replace the brembo pads and rotors as they insisted that drilled rotors need to be replaced EVERY TIME you change the brake pads as they cannot be resurfaced.
