Brake pads OEM BMW or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
K12GT checking in. It’s the smoothest bike I’ve ever ridden. I wish the brakes weren’t made of wood but, I’m used to “quirks” of BMW’s now, after 200K on 1150 (RT & GS-A)
Pros: smoothest bike ever ridden
Cons: brakes made of wood
Mileage: 200000 km
Did the brakes myself on my elantra and spent about $60. Brakes are super easy and massively overcharged by dealers.
Pros: super easy, inexpensive
Cons: dealers overcharge
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
My local dealer has the “value service” pricing on BMW USA’s website, front rotors/pads/sensors on an 18 330 x drive for $419.95 front and $435.95 rear.
Pros: affordable pricing
Vehicle:
BMW
I installed R56 front brakes.
Pros: improved braking
Vehicle:
MINI
M3 stock brakes are better, the GTI gets a little tail-happy under hard braking above 110-130mph.
Cons: tail-happy under braking
Vehicle:
BMW
Seems like there would be room in the market for a slightly detuned S55 base model without the fancy seats, brakes and wheels for about $5-8k less like the M3/M4: M3/M4 Competition.
Vehicle:
BMW M2
I really love driving it though, particularly the brakes and the handling.
Pros: glorious sound, great handling
Vehicle:
BMW
The way the brakes begin to grumble during heavy braking is less impressive, but they work well enough.
Pros: work well enough
Cons: grumble during braking
Vehicle:
BMW
And jesus christ. $600 for rear pads and rotors? the the parts are like $250 and labor shouldn't be over $200...
Cons: expensive rear pads and rotors
Our 2003 Santa Fe has 60,000 miles on it. Just had the accessory belt and tensioner replaced... I swear I had the brakes nearly to the floor every time I wanted to stop. It just felt like I had to keep pushing harder. It's like pushing into a sponge.
Cons: spongy brake feel
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Mileage: 96560 km
