Ok, I haven’t found any articles on the standard OEM brakes. How many miles on average are we experiencing? What is the options for upgrades?

Pete you’re crazy!Ha....i replaced my brake pads with under 500 miles on the odometer. Brought these. I've used this brand on several of my cars and trucks for the last several yrs.

But your M3 uses a racing pad.... Most cars do not. Racing pads wear out quickly just like a soft compound tire wears out quickly.PowerBrake makes a 4x4 specific (whatever that means) big brake kit for the 2.3. They told me it will work on the 2.7 but sometimes it triggers a CEL for some reason. But it’s $2,600 for just the front calipers, rotors, pads, and steel lines. So you’d still be out for rear rotors and pads.
I’m used to replacing pads/rotors on M3’s every 20-30k. So I’m a bit shocked at those saying they’re getting to 120k. Wow!
They also use very soft rotors forcing you to replace them as well when you do your pads. I’m assuming that’s not the case on our trucks.But your M3 uses a racing pad.... Most cars do not. Racing pads wear out quickly just like a soft compound tire wears out quickly.
I just picked these up a couple weeks ago but haven't put them on yet. How do they feel vs OEM in the bronco?Ha....i replaced my brake pads with under 500 miles on the odometer. Brought these. I've used this brand on several of my cars and trucks for the last several yrs.

All i can say is I stop perfectly fine....definitely not worse that oem. I bought them mainly to vastly reduce the ridiculous brake dust.I just picked these up a couple weeks ago but haven't put them on yet. How do they feel vs OEM in the bronco?
Stops great, but that wasn't the reason i got them for the Bronco. I wanted to eliminate as much brake dust as possible, which is what carbon fiber/ceramic will do while minimizing wear to rotors and still stop wonderfully.Pete you’re crazy!
Does it stop better?
