What's the difference between brembo and regular brakes?
Anybody experience any difference in performance?

The Brembos are supposed to have more stopping power I believe. But the models that got them, they wore out quickly and produced a lot of brake dust--something people got fed up with and didn't find beneficial.

The brembos only came on the 03-04 6MT coupes... Even though they do create a lot of brake dust, they stop and look amazing... I believe by getting different pads, there will be less dust...

The Brembo offers no real advantage over the non-Brembo brakes in everyday use. THe Non-Brembos on the 03-04 stopped tjhe G just as fast. The Brembos have larger rotors though, so there is some advantage where heat capacity is an issue (race tracks). The 05+ brakes are fairly close to the Brembos in size, but the Brembos would still have a slight advantage.
I had the Brembos when I had the G and they did get a lot of looks at the stoplights. If that makes a difference. =P

Ceramic breaks pads fix dust problems.
