I love the Brembos so far. They are smoother and apparently much more powerful (too new to lay on them yet) than the performance brakes on the 1SG. I don't expect them to start with the horrible grinding noise the performance pads had on the regular 1SG.
Does anyone have a handle on pad and rotor life compared to standard brakes? My '05 required pads twice and rotors once in 62,500 miles. It was probably close to due again when I traded. |
08STSwow,
no grinding noise from my brakes but I only have about 10K miles on mine. I usually need new brake pads on front all 30.000 km (about 18K miles) but I drive my STS or my XLR very fast on the Autobahn what makes the life shorter than your highway driving around 70 - 80 mph in the US. You should get around 30 - 40K miles out of the front pads.
