Anyone try the ceramic brembo pads that rockauto offers?

[jlach993]

I was considering the brembo pads for the front and rear of my 2011. It says they’re premium ceramic and the front and rear are both under $40 a pair. Sounds a bit sketchy. Can anyone chime in?

I'm still highly suspect of rotors/pads that are this inexpensive. There are a lot of mixed reviews out there on maxbrakes and I would be concerned about the longevity/durability of these at the price.

I have not used these, but ceramic pads in general to be squeaky at low speeds, tend to last longer, and tend to not put out as much dust. Just general observations, which can vary from brand to brand.

I have been using Maxbrakes on all my cars for the last 2-3 years with zero issues. Very minimal brake dust, no pulsation and they catch impressively. Even my wife noticed the brakes are sharper. You have to order them which takes about 2-3 weeks. Buy the Elite Rotors (Black) and premium ceramic pads(grey&blue). Proper installation is key, Hub surface has to be clean from dirt and rust and greased before mounting the rotors and slider pins should be well lubricated and make sure lug nuts are tightened to 110 ft pounds and finally do the brake break in procedure. I currently have them installed on 3 cars and i have installed them for friends with zero issues. I dont work for max brakes and i'm not getting any commission, We are on this forum to help each other, i've heard of folks paying up to $1000 for brakes for their LR while i just spend less than $200 buying max brakes.

Folks that had issues probably bought the cheaper ones from max brakes, the have 4 different types of rotors, the basic, basic cross drilled/Slotted, cross drilled/slotted with Zinc coating and the Elite cross drilled slotted (Black) and for the brake pads they have Metallic pads, Ceramic pads and Premium ceramic pads. I always buy the Elite rotors and the Premium ceramic pads.

I keep asking this... but what is the complaint with the OE/Genuine pads, besides cost? The OEM Ferodo are identical (AFAIT) and available at a fraction of the cost. That's what I installed last time, and they have been working great.

for me the amount of dust in this day and age is just not justifiable
