How do I know if my brake pads are compatible?
To check the life of the brake pad, you need to determine its thickness. You might need a flashlight to get a good look at the brake pad. If the pads look thin, less than 1/4″, it might be time to get them replaced. On some brake pads, you might see a wear indicator slot down the center of the pad.
Are brake pads interchangeable?

Are Brembo brakes worth the money?
Mostly because it’s worth it, better braking on a car that can reach triple digit speeds without trying that hard. Brembos don’t necessarily mean better stopping distance, only the ability to stop as hard more often. You would need larger rotors and more pistons to achieve better stopping distance.
