Disappointing Performance from High-Priced Brake Upgrade

Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice I can confidently say that this brake system upgrade does not live up to its advertised potential. Despite the flashy features like drilled and slotted rotors and ceramic pads, I found that this system actually decreased my braking performance .The only upside? It does look cool on my car..

Pros
  • Flashy appearance
Cons
  • Decreased braking performance

Poor Quality Brakes, Avoid Buying Them

These brake pads are not worth buying they're not a good fit for automotive performance use .Thanks to my knowledge gained in practice with this product, I discovered that the pads wore out quickly and couldn't handle high-speed braking. The only positive thing I can say about them is that they are easy to install. However, the cons far outweigh this sole benefit. Save your money and find a better brake system..

Pros
  • Excellent heat dissipation thanks to drilled and slotted design
Cons
  • Pricier compared to non-ceramic options

Best replacement OEM

Yes, a very noticeable stopping effect. Very even very much. I may update this review as time wears down the brakes for true durability. For reference, the factory installed brakes lasted +80,000 miles. My pads are not worn at all. I only did it for the loss of braking power. It turned out that this…

Pros
  • spare parts
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model
