genuine brembo brake pads or aftermarket for v9

[embai]

Hi, just want some opinion thinking on the pads for my brembos

i had a quote from winger RRP was more than 700+ for a front set, the rear is also around the same... also heard from the guy from winger saying that there is a replica/fake brembo pads which is way cheaper but they squeal the rotors.... ???

had a look at 41 automotive and it seems like the whole front and rear zerosports brake pads cost less than the genuine front... just anyone had any opinion on these zerosports one... already had a search around but no one seems to use zerosports pads...

cheers

go to race brakes. get a street pad set for 350, done.

yeah like boostcut said you can get much cheaper and more effective pads than genuine for half the price at leats

sorry for being pain... what brand is it (or brand doesnt matter at all??), i suppose that is for the front?

[Guest boostcut]

it will be a brand like endless or carbone mettallic or mintex or ferrodo or hawk or... how many names do you want. cheap is good!

[nt_a_foz]

cheap isnt good haha..

cheaper than 700 is htough..

yeah ferrodo, bendix, hawkj, mintex just to name a few

dam have prices gone up!!!

i got mine a couple years back (genuine ones) and they were bout 500 a set for the front!!!

imo i would try and stick to orignals as they have been made to work the factory rotors as if you get pads that are to hard they might eat through the discs and im guessing they cost more than a set of pads

ive dont 3 track days on mine and still have plenty of meat on them

I got a trade price from repco the other day for replacement rotors and they werent as bad as you would think..acutlay not much more at all than normal rotors..

Id go for aftermarket pads if i was you.

I just got some ferodo ds2000s for my v7 sti

$510 delivered front and rear, and apparently are kind on rotors and will work well from cold

good pads iv got them on the front of my car and handled a beating on the track well.

i worked for a subaru dealer on and off for about 3 years and i was selling EBC brakes as replacement pads for brembo models. if they were onto it the should have given you that option as well.

i sold heaps of sets for Sti impreza's, sti foresters and Sti tuned legacys and not one customer came back complaining.

mostly we sold the EBC red range.

cant comment on other brands as i have no experience with them

EBC brakes can be purchased from Hitech brake and clutch in auckland
