1le Replacement Pad Suggestions

Hi Gents,

21k miles on my 2020 SS 1le. Pads are about done. Looking for replacements with firmer pedal feel, dont want pad noise ( ive never heard any from stock brembo). Use for some track and daily/ canyon use. Any suggestions?
Rotors look good, ill clean them up any reason to turn these?

Thanks!

Stock sounds like the best for your mix. They are Brembo after all, not too shabby a reputation for delivering performance.

I believe OEM pads with stainless brake lines might be the ticket for a more firm pedal. Atleast that's what I'm thinking about for mods this winter.

OEM pads for sure. They are the best pick for 90% of the use cases out there.


Get stainless lines for dress up, they don't do anything for pedal feel.


(and before the stainless line guys show up and torch me, I have Speigler's from KNS on my 1LE).

Hmmm, I had heard they did make for a stiffer pedal. I will have to go back and re-read.

OEM pad and don't waste your money on SS lines. I had a set of Russel SS lines burst on me at the track on a previous car. Was the pedal a bit stiffer? Sure. Did I notice after a while? No.

Or if can tolerate more dust and/or noise, and don't mind $$, choose one of these.

My original OE pads were more than half done, and I replaced them with a new OE set, but now I’m only using that new set for the summer track season, I kept the original set for rest of the year. I figure this maximizes use by saving more of the first half for track use.

Carbon fiber lines (sold small-scale by a member here) and brembo fluid made a pretty noticeable improvement in firmness and feel for me.
