Some Advice On what Brakes to buy

[mjb]

Unless you drive the car hard enough to experience the brakes fading or smoking, I'd go to a local factors and buy whatever they have It's only really the coupé that needs genuine Brembo brake parts only available from the dealers because of a hideous problem with squealing. £90 for a set of pads

Brembo do not make brake pads.

You're saying they're someone else's pads with "Brembo" stamped on them? I think coupe owners would like to know whose!

I was in my local Brembo suppliers last week discussing this topic.
Ordinary car brake discs are made by Brembo, but they don't supply pads....however, from september or october Brembo will be supplying their own pads.
This is according to the boss of my local Brembo supplier, he should know.

Which kind of begs the question whose pads has mjb been buying at stealer prices?

Hi M8, Depends how you drive...
On the front I use EBC Slotted Dimpled Discs, Red Stuff pads (bout £150 from Tweeks for the lot).Th pads last around 2800 miles and put a nice blue tint and fine cracks in the discs Lol

But that's just me
