Yes. I do oil, break pads and rotors all the standard stuff
Been doing some research and debate myself. Come to the conclusion I would stick New Edge brakes in there. V6 and GT got the same brake package, and it's pretty robust, easy to find, and cheap. Remember it's designed for a 3000+ lb car and you're going to a 2400 lb car, so it's already overbraked, and being light it'll be easy on its consumables.
The rear brake wear on the B9 SQ5 is a known thing. The programming for stability control is super aggressive on applying the rear brakes on turns to keep the rear of the car planted so the rear pads wear down fast if you are even just a moderately spirited driver. The rear pads on my SQ5 only lasted 17k before reaching 2mm
The oldest I've used as a daily is my '55 Ford. Could stand to get some brakes on it, but otherwise it was fine.
I put brake pads on my father-in-laws Ford Taurus and put a sticker as such on the rear bumper.
My car has smaller brakes than yours, so I was able to downsize to a 245 45R17 for winter use from the 255 35R19 summers and the car is so much smoother but still can handle just as good.
I managed to get my hand on a set of MK1 Audi TT front and rear brakes for a steal, also round the corner to my work which was even better. This takes my front brakes from 288mm up to 312mm and takes my rear brakes from 232mm solid discs to 256mm vented discs.
Focus ST: Con -Using brakes to offset torque steer a bit lame. And contributes to crazy brake dust
460€ per il primo tagliando della mia Audi Q2, poi dopo aver pagato anche il secondo e avendo saputo che mi volevano cambiare le pastiglie dei freni dicendo che erano finite quando in realtà portandola dal mio gommista e guardando risultavano a metà della loro vita ho capito che 3/4 delle spese messe in carico in un tagliando al concessionario Audi ufficiale sono soldi rubati, ti cambiano pezzi che non servono solo per alzare il totale..
As someone who has a TTRS, the brakes blow. Heavy, overheat, poor feel, and expensive rotors/pads.
