I'm currently running Brembo front pads, with Borg & Beck front discs - all from Advanced Factors.

Thanks all. Got some brembo discs and Ferodo pads on the way, I won't order brembo pads any more due to the licensing issue and the fact you never know what you're getting - too much of a lottery and I've always had good experiences with Ferodo so I'll trust them in the FF

There is no Brembo licensing issue - the don’t license their brand name. |

Very sceptical on that I'm afraid. Not saying all brembo pads are rubbish, far from it. My issue is that there is a spread of quality dependant upon manufacturing location and parts being supplied by sub contracted pad manufacturers, and there's little to no way of determining what you're actually getting. If you can definitively tell me where all brembo pads are manufactured, I'll happily have my mind changed and maybe go back to buying them again in the future. For now though I'll remain an ex brembo pad customer. That said, I don't have the same concerns with the discs hence my purchase 2011 Vogue SE Tdv8 FFRR |

Brembo do license their pads... have a look at brembo pads next time, on the back it might say Jurid or Pagid etc who made them under license but still have the brembo brand and markings as well as their own, some are just branded Brembo.. I have seen both. |

I've never seen that and I've been fitting Brembo pads to my vehicles (2 RR's and an Audi) for over 5 years. So probably at least 10 sets in that time.

The rear brembo pads that came off my ff a couple of months ago had brembo written all over them and the brembo symbol but also had another manufacturer written in a smaller font along with part numbers etc on the back, I have seen this on other cars fitted with Brembo replacement pads (not in Brembo own make calipers) |
