Brembo Brake Experience

Hey everyone,
I am wanting to replace my brake pads and rotors and have come across these in both Amazon and TireRack. Does anyone have experience with them? Thanks in advance.

I am using centric ceramics. They wok grew and have dramatically less dust than the OEM pads.

Ceramic pads are a dime a dozen IMO. Get the brand you are comfortable with and move on. Its the performance pads that are subjective and about as debatable as trump vs Clinton...

Think the noise on the Ceramos are the issue for some, from what I've heard. Might want to change your thread title to get some of those guys to chime in. For me, changing to gun metal wheel really mitigates the appearance of brake dust between weekly cleanings.

Check out Textar EPad. I've yet to see anyone with an E70 comment on these so I just bought a set and will be posting a review real soon.

Ceramic pads dust the least, and should not squeak, unlike Semi-metallic and metallic pads.

It's usually like this:

High Performance
Low Dust
Low Noise

You may only pick two when it comes to pads.
