I put in cheap ceramic genuine Brembo pads in my Kia, stops on a dime.
A popular way to get bigger brakes on your Honda civic is taking the brembos from an Acura TL.
I purchased Durango rotors and Wagner brakes for my 2015 cx5 back in May 2018. According to my buddy my brakes were only 50%/35%(front/back/) done. I told him to change it anyways since he pulled them apart anyways. That was around 105k. Around Jan 2020, the rear brakes were squeaking. My buddy pulled them apart, and the rear brakes were completely done. The odometer was around 190k . I replaced them with centric rotors and power stop pads. The front was not changed as it looks like 70 left.
The OEM brembo pads and rotors on my Subaru would leave a lot of buildup for sure. A couple good hard brakes and it was clear.
I replaced all brake pads and rotors about a month ago on my 2014 Honda Civic EX with Brembo pads and rotors. So far they're working great, huge improvement over the warped front rotors and the warn pads before.
Some pads make more noise than others, I'm not going to use Brembo pads on my car again, they aren't making bad noises, just regular brake sounds at a slightly higher volume than my previous Napa brand ceramic pads.
Today i had replace my rotors cause are very warped both, and get installed the textar front discs with brembo ceramic pads... \ud83d\udc4d\ud83c\udffc Im tired of cleaning the front rims every 2 days.
The OEM Brembo pads aren't bad at all. Mine squeak here and there, but rarely. No stopping power issues. They dust a lot.
Ok, so, at a particular location I worked at we used Wagner Thermoquiets. Decent pads, but this particular location seemed to get the worst quality pads ever. The only way we could keep the customer from coming back was to make sure everything was well lubricated, and we also used some sort of orange goop to stick the brake pads to the calipers. Then we took it out for a break-in session, I believe it was 5 stops from 30mph, gently using the brakes, then another 5 with moderate brake pressure. And if the customer was too hard on the brakes it might still come back.
Those Brembo pads that cost $500 a set are total trash, too. They are low friction and still real dusty. I threw mine in the trash at like 2000 miles.
