Best brakes in the business.
I have not been disappointed yet. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
I have installed TRW discs in the rear, Textar in the front, and all pads Brembo. No squeeking so far.@@MoreBear
@@uroskostic8570 That's great to hear. Let me know in a bit how they are performing. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Yes, they make the best brakes but these brakes pads are made by someone else, brembo has just allowed them to use their name, which is why I’m trying to find out how good they actually are.
Worst review
I got them on my VW and I am very impressed by their performance and the amount of wear they give you over time.
Great to know. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I have a VW too, how are they holding up?
Got them on my BMW E82 123d brake and pads, i'm very happy, fast driving on twisty roads
3:13 'nice rubber band on there' that was the last thing i needed to confirm my purchase of these
Its a nice touch. Keeps the protective wrapping in place. Just shows they care about the product, which I can't say for a lot of other manufacturers. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Looking at new discs and pads for my Audi A4, thank you really appreciate all the information.
Let me know how it goes! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Just received my rotors and ceramic pads. Nice Quality, nicely packaged for automotive parts, I must say.
I thought the same thing! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
I’ve been using brembo discs and pads in my cars. I have no complaint. And they’re usually cheaper than OEM brakes and other brands too in my country. It’s a no brainer.
I agree! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Excellent video. Thanks for keeping things simple and straight forward. Brembo should offer you something for marketing. I decided to order a set for my truck after your referral. Thanks brother.
Haha. I love the vote of confidence. Let me know how you like them in a few months. Thanks for watching and the comments!
I ordered a front pads and rotors kit for my 2007 dodge charger srt8. Cant wait to get them on next week
Exciting times! Let me know how it goes and how they perform on your beast. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I replaced all my original rotors and pads with Brembo UV rotors and ceramic pads. Dead quiet and performance is solid.
That's great to know. Thanks for sharing. Please like and subscribe.
Brembo's rotors were always top notch, I have my drilled ones for 120k+ KMs with their second set of EBC pads (on a E46 Touring) - aaand they went through some hard times - there are discolorations and slight noise, but they still stop the car very efficiently!!
Why I'm commenting is, Brembo pads are usually anything from the chinese factory, you'll be better off with anything Textar or EBC black for daily use!
That's great info! I don't know if I mentioned it but I had a set of EBC Green Stuff pads and EBC rotors on my Dodge Dakota. The pad separated from the plate within less than a year. They also wouldn't stand behind them and warranty the pads so I switched brands. Thanks for watching and the comments!
BREMBO pads are alot safer than chinese pads, trust me
Brembo came as normal OEM rotor in the mid 90s on many Audis and I imagine many other brands like Alfa, BMW etc so they were main stream even back then
I'm just not used to seeing them on Saturns, Chevys and other domestics. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Agreed. Just today i checked the brembo rotors prices for 1995 Audi 90 on rocks auto. $45-65 bucs each which is about right
@@GeorgiGeorgiev-ne9ps That's great!
nice work bro thank you for sharing I need to replace my brakes and rotors on my vw Tiguan but you said you need to prepare your rotors before putting them on your car how do I do that is there a coating i need to get off before hand
Sorry for not being more specific. Yes, there is a protective coating on all brake discs that needs to be removed before installation. Simply use brake cleaner (chlorinated works better, but the non-chlorinated also works) and wipe off both sides with a clean rag or paper towel. Please like and subscribe. Thanks for the compliment, question and for watching!
@@MoreBear thank you very much 😀
I'd go Brembo discs, bosch pads if I'm on a budget 👍
Good choice! Thanks for watching and the question.
Why Bosch pads ? Are they less premium compared to brembo ?
@@johndthottam I got Bosh pads on my Hyundai and my Mercedes I love them way better then brembo I like them better then akabono also
Trying to buy 4 Sets of rotors & Brake pads for my Honda City 2009... Glad I see this helpful videos mate... It seems a Year a go. How this Rotors & brakes performs at this moments?
Cannot complain! I would buy again. Stop great and little brake dust. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
I think they’re well worth it discs and brake pads all around on 08 is250 feels very good
Glad you like them. I appreciate the update. Please like and subscribe. Thanks for watching!
Hello, I heard about ATE Ceramic brake pad with Zimmerman Sport Z rotor works great, I’m thinking about going for it, have you heard anything about them ? Any opinions ?
I replaced ATE vented rotors and ceramic pads with these Brembo Rotors and Pads. I would have bought them again, but Canadian Tire no longer carries them. I was impressed with ATE. Very little rust on the rotors and the pads lasted longer then most. Thanks for the question and for watching!
Zimmerman Sport Z weighs around 0.5 kg less per front rotor. Have you tried the Zimmerman Sport Z rotor with the ATE ceramic pads ?
The relief line that’s usually on pads is to help the pad actually flex so it doesn’t crack right?
I thought it was for heat expansion and dust relief. Please like and subscribe. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I have honda crv 2020, contemplating buying between oem and brembo pads. What do you suggest?
I would look at reviews of both pads, and then compare to the price. I don't know much about Honda OEM parts except they cost a lot. If it were my vehicle, BREMBO. Please like and subscribe. Thanks for the question and for watching!
How's the long term corrosion resistance been for you? Debating on going for these over geomet coated rotors.
They have been great. On par with ATE so far. Please like and subscribe as it really helps me as a creator. Thanks for the question and for watching!
I didn't watch the video entirely but despite what anyone else says I had the worst luck on slotted EBC brakes with red pads for strictly street use.
Yup, same here but with their green Stuff pads and slotted/drilled rotors. Was not impressed when the pad separated from the backplate and they didn't warranty it. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I also have rotors and ceramic pads from brembo. Rotors are good but not a fan of the pads. Way too much dust and modulation was not as good as OEM. Only good thing is the red shims look cool on the car😂
Will be going back to oem or another brand once these pads go
True about the red shims. It's a nice touch. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
I bought Brembo disc and Ate pads
I had ATE rotors before the Brembos and they were quite good. Thanks for watching and the comment!
I just ordered Brembo brake pads for my Mitsubishi pajero/shogun/montero sport! am super curious how are your brakes performing? Are you happy with your purchase?
I am very happy with the purchase. No rust yet. Perform very well. Keep me updated on your brakes! Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@MoreBear Thank you for the reply! I surely will
They are standard OEM on some Hondas, I've used them and have been happy. They give a good brake feel and seem like a quality part. They wear quite slowly too. I have not tried cheap parts on my car in the past to compare but I feel I have peace of mind knowing I have fitted a good make. Usually anything thats OEM is a good choice.
good feedback, but why not paiting the calipers if new brakes?:(
I've painted them twice. The car is 13 years old and we are not keeping it much longer. Plus I was lazy. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
After a year of using them, how have they held up?
For sure they have. Very impressed. Thanks for the question and for watching!
Thanks for the video, after 9 months are you still happy with your new brake pads/rotors??
Yes, absolutely! Would purchase again. Thanks for watching and the comment!
How’s the brake dust? I’ve heard they produce a lot of brake dust.
@@jja8010 Honestly I didn't find it any worse than competitors. Thanks for the question and for watching!
@@MoreBear Thanks! Maybe the ones who complain got the semi metallic brembo(oe) not the ceramic.
Is that brakepads ceramic? How about rotors high carbon?
Genuinely curious a year later how they are holding up etc. Any update or issues sir?
No issues other then a little more brake dust then I expected. Seem to be wearing evenly. No cold weather issues. Thanks for the question and for watching!
@MoreBear oh okay, thank you for the update!
Will be interesting to see how these fair through winter. I know the usual “coated” rotors use that geomet kinda thing, wonder when a set of pads and rotors will be available for my challenger lol 6pot brembos yo
Jealous! Yea I don;'t know how they will hold up, but I could do a review. Thanks for watching and the comment!
@@MoreBear lol jealous in the performance but not in the price tag when the time comes dude lol. sucks with the stock issues though, it's like you have to stock pile months in advance because if you don't order things now they will never come.
How are they on break dust?
I found they were a little worse than say EBC, but better than stock. Please like and subscribe. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Well its been 2years, how are they doing? & How many miles have you had on these? Really thinking about getting some here soon for my SUV 😁 let me know please
The car is gone now, but I had them on for a year and half. Little bit of brake dust. Very pleased with them although I think the ATE rotors were better. Please like and subscribe as it helps me as a creator. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Brembo is a good brand, just A LOT of counterfeits out there. Not always a retail problem but it does happen primarily online ... if you buy anything Brembo online not a insignificant chance it's counterfeit. They try hard to give you as much info to determine if real vs fake but there is high quality (appearance wise) fakes.
Good to know! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Did you say remove coated surface?
Correct. Spray brake cleaner (chlorinated or non-chlorinated) onto both sides of the rotor to remove the anti rust film that was applied from the factory. Thanks for the question and for watching!
how's the brake performance so far?
No brake fade in the summer. Great cold weather bite in the winter. Little brake dust. No complaints. Thanks for the question and for watching!
I feel like this is an alternative universe where we have to make videos about Brembo. I always thought Brembo was creme de la creme of the braking systems and consumables. Have they fallen off at any point?
Good point, however this is Brembo's first brake pads and rotors for "normal" vehicles. Please like and subscribe. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Sure "Brembo makes brakes for Chevrolet now" for the Camaro and Corvette, and they're four to six piston calipers with 2 piece rotors, measuring almost 15 inches (355mm)
Love the name by the way. I'm more of a Cereal Killer. True. Plus they've also made them for such cars as the Cobalt SS, HHR SS, Saturn Ion Redline, Silverado SS, Trailblazer SS, and the 2019 + 2023 and up Silverado. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Are these better than Akebono brake pads?
I am not familiar with that brand so I couldn't comment. I would say they are better than EBC Brakes, or any other brakes available at non OEM Parts Stores.
No they are not better than akebono
I found out that some of the brembo brakes are actually produced by akebono factories. They are just specd to brembo request.
Hold up I bought brembos today no hardware kit no brembo sticker and the pads were not wrapped up just loose in the box
Really? Could it have been a customer return that you got by accident? Thanks for watching and the comment!
I think you only get that nice stuff with the Ceramic pads. Any part number with "N" at the end is ceramic I think.
I prefer ate breaks tho. Cheaper and same performance and reliability for normal breaks
But i do have brembo rotors on my alfa romeo tho 😂
I had ATE on there previously and they were exceptional, but I couldn't get them again. Please like and subscribe as it really helps me as a creator. Thanks for the question and for watching!

I have a 2019 Nissan rogue bought it brand-new came with akebono brakes. The price the dealership quoted me was double the price compared to the local fitment centre next door to it and the pot shop with brembo. So I decided to go with the brembo worst mistake I ever made with regards to breaks it only lasted around 10 to 12000 miles I fitted pads and disc rear and front. The rear war the same as the front. The akebono lasted over 20,000 miles and still had some life on them I literally have around 30 per-cent of breaking power lucky my car has autonomous breaking so he'd helped when I almost rear-ended a car. I will never buy this again I had to pay double for the akebono and get over twice as much the mileage. In my opinion don't buy these brakes for normal cars. Also the braking power is horrible it's like you don't have any my wife uses this car to take the children to school and trust me they scary thought having her drive this car with disc brakes
Thanks for the info for watching!
Im guessing you put bigger discs and pads than stock without putting a bigger master cylinder
I agree brembo pads dont last as long as other competitors, but they’re cheaper too, at least where I live. And about brake feel, I dont notice any notable difference between them and OEM toyota, BMW (ATE), and mercedes pads. If you bought ceramic pads, it should be understandable if they dont bite as hard as metallic pads, but they are quieter and not as hard on the rotor.
@@jogalong I put the exact size as the original. I had to remove the original rotor and discs and take it to the auto parts store so they could match it exactly. Cause he said there are 2 or 3 different types. It was I had almost no braking power, in April I bought a 2020 Mazda 3 the dealership put ate have to say the brakes are amazing. Can't get them for the Rogue. I live in south Africa bit ate is one of the most popular brakes here but don't have for the Rogue
I've heard good things about Akebono too. Sorry to hear about your Brembo experience but thanks for sharing! Thanks for the comment and for watching!
Brembos squeak and produce allot of brake dust. I have them on my focus RS. They are just okay imo
Great information. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
funny how one guy praises a certain brand while another curses that very product and swears never to touch it or go near it. beware guys. brembo may b a performance brand but its performance on ur vehicle is not guaranteed like the stock part.
Good to know. Remember, this is just my opinion. Thanks for watching and the comment!
Make up on a pig analogy
Thanks for the comment and for watching!
My opinion: brake discs, YES; brake pads, NO.
Thank you for your input and for watching the video!
Which brake pad you recommend? Bosch ?
@@johndthottam Akebono asp
Brembo brake pad made in China 🇨🇳
Bummer
Who doesn't manufacture in China?
Rare to see things made anywhere else. At least they are made to Brembo standards? Thanks for watching and the comment!
No 👎
What was the issue? Thanks for the comment and for watching!
They are trash paid 300 for 2 brembo rotors they are junk
Sorry to hear that. Can you please describe why? Please like and subscribe. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
@@MoreBear brand new brembo rotors with akabono pads the rotors weren’t properly balanced and warped in the first week given me brake vibration I ended up switching them out for Wagner rotors the vibration is now gone
This tells me nothing.
Sorry, could you be more specific? Always looking at ways to improve. Thanks for the comment and for watching!
@@MoreBear Their profile pic says it all man. Surprised they didn't demand money from you! Thanks for the vid. Just did my 2019 VW AllTrack today. I was looking for "bedding" vids, but watched yours anyway. I wiped my rotors down, but kept the film on for the most part. I saw somewhere else that today's rotors have a coating to assist break in. I dont know. We'll see I guess.
Most pads these days have break in or bedding compound on the face. I have not heard of rotors with such a compound applied, The manufacturers apply the coating so surface rust doesn't develop between manufacturing and installation. Thanks@@brucemastiff7390 for the comment and for watching!
I probably had it backwards. Did my front and rear rotors and pads yesterday. The internets agree, the VW AllTracks have terrible stock brakes. Yuge difference. @@MoreBear
@@brucemastiff7390 Update me on how the brakes are compared to stock. Thanks for watching!
