- Опубликовано: 10 сен 2024
- Hey guys! Need to replace your Brembo brakes? I'm going to show you how to do a pretty simple brake pad swap on my G70. Keep in mind, this is only for the trims equipped with the Brembo brakes. Luckily, the same steps apply to pretty much any other car equipped with factory Brembos. Enjoy!

Girodisc Brake Pads in the video are discontinued.
Alternative Front Pads (I'm personally using currently) - www.khartunerz...
Wow this is much easier than I thought it would be ....why dont all cars have an easy change like this 😅
Haha it's definitely not bad at all! I just replaced my front pads again recently and the caliper pistons were much harder to push back in this time. Maybe I'm getting weaker....haha but I'm glad you found it helpful!
@@StrictlyChow Any recommendations on other ways to compress the caliper pistons if they get too tight to compress by hand?
Great video really helped me out in changing my own bro
Glad you found it helpful! I appreciate you stopping by ^^
If you have the Dynamic G70 then you have the Brembo semi-metallic Euro performance brake pads. But I recommend changing to the pads you’re using or the “Euro” brake pads if you have the standard Brembo pads.
I know your comment is a year old but how do you tell if they are the Euro spec?
@@SlipAngleG70 No worries! From a visible aspect I don't think you can tell but the part numbers are :
58101-J5A55 (Front Pads)
58302-J5A55 (Rear Pads)
I had the brake judder at 6k miles, I own a 2020 G70 3.3t Prestige.
The dealer resurfaced the rotors, judder has been absent for past 4K miles.
I have 10,070 miles on my 2020.
Nice! I've heard people report that the brake issues come back again after resurfacing the rotors bc the true problem is the OEM brake pad material. Hopefully your's is good to go
@@StrictlyChow yes I’ve heard that too on genesisowners forum, the dealer didn’t seem to know anything, they even mentioned if it happened again they would replace rotors and brakes, so I’ll let them figure it out. It’s a lease any way.
Thanks for the video. Was just starting to change mine but have never changed Brembo pads before. What I expected but last thing one wants to do is start hitting things on your brakes with a hammer just to find out it's NOT a pin. lol
When I took mine out they still have sufficient material so I'm putting them back in but did notice that they are slightly tapered in wear. I notices you did not put the backing plate on your replacement pads. Looking at mine, it clearly does not fully cover the caliper piston contact with the back of the pad. I think that is causing the taper I see.
I tried for find a quick support number or email for Brembo to ask them about this but no luck so stopped looking. That said, I wonder if the taper wear might not be part of the shutter under braking that so many report. Would be nice to know if that shim on the back is from Brembo or Genesis and why it's not a full face design.
Honestly it didn't matter what side the wear indicator back or front. Unless they are shaped different it doesn't matter
Yeah that is true it doesn't really matter but if it's in the back, it's just more work to visually check
Awesome video!
The stock brembos are horrible..
I’ll buy giro disc eventually
Thanks! The stock pads have been good to me, but I wanted to listen to what others have said about them eventually causing issues. Pretty easy job to do at home, but filming makes it take longer lol
What’s up man…how are the pads holding up? Bought some but no shop wants to install them bcuz they don’t look exactly like the factory ones. So before I do it myself I wanted to ask if you’ve had any issues…thanks in advanced.
No issues here! I pretty much cover all the steps in the video 🤟 Just broke 35k miles and they're still in good shape
Did you ever run into this issue or did this upgrade prevent any brake vibration?
I never had the issue since I think the Dynamic trim came with Euro spec brake pads from the factory. Just as preventative measures, I went ahead and changed the pads and still no issues to this day. Girodisc no longer makes this model of pads so I picked up some EBC (red stuff) pads from Khartunerz for when the girodisc pads wear out
Hey man your links no longer work can you provide which ones you bought?
Hey man, for sure! I just updated the link in the description. I recently changed my front pads again due to being worn out, and I discovered that the girodisc magic pads were discontinued. I switched to EBC Red and they've been performing even better. Highly recommend!
@@StrictlyChow Thanks man is yours a sport? Do you have the dimensions of those pads? I have a 2020 g70 sport
@@Taureg Yeah, mine is the Dynamic edition but it's the same as Sport. Unfortunately don't have the dimensions but our cars should be the exact same
AWWWWWWW YEAH 🥰
You already know!
What’s the reason for opening the cap off the reservoir
It'll help make it easier for you to push the brake caliper pistons back in so you can slide in the new pads. It's not necessary to open up the cap if you don't want to though. Just keep an eye on the brake fluid level
Good video! Did you use a floor jack to raise the entire front at some mounting point, or just the designated mounting weld points near the wheel wells, then sliding jack stands in?
Thanks! I just used the spots near the wheel wells. Jack stands are a must :)
StrictlyChow ok perfect thanks!
I just found this video recently and wanted to ask you how the replacement pads held up (or are holding up) for you. I had my rotors resurfaced once at around 10k miles, but the problem returned several thousand miles later. I currently have a bit over 20k miles on the odometer and now I just want to replace the pads and be done with it.
Hey bro! So I just broke 35k miles and these same pads are still running strong without issues for me. Original rotors as well
@@StrictlyChow Thanks! I appreciate the response!
@@MaxRebo72 anytime! Glad you found the video helpful and feel free to add me on IG as well 🤟
@StrictlyChow Great video! As MaxRebo72 said, and as I learned in your great to follow video, I too am having braking vibration issues (at 11K of normal driving). I didn't realized it might be a common problem. Where did you read about that? I'm guessing maybe in the forums, but if you could provide a link, I'd like to read up on it). I figure that taking to the dealer wouldn't be covered due to it being a brake issue but maybe it's worth it if others have had success. Sounds like you like your pads, I am looking at EBC Ultimax 2, by chance did these cross your radar when you were looking for replacement pads?
Nice review
Thank you!
Hey! Do you have a link to the front pads you bought? I’m getting the rumbling now. 2022 genesis with 15k miles
Hey man! I do, the link should be in the video description :)
@@StrictlyChow thank you! I got a lease right now but with interest rates i might buy it. Just wondering what the best tune is. I got springs, spacers and an intake as of now.
@@omarlatif1339 can't go wrong with wider tires later on too! Maybe even throw on the secondary downpipes
does these come with pads like front and rear?
This particular one I bought is for the front only. I need to do the rears soon so I'll be looking around at options.
Genesis supplied the wrong pads and ours are warped AF
You're car has intakes and exhaust right? Are you ever gonna get it tuned? If so what tune will you go with?
Yeah! Intake and exhaust so far. I might go JB4 one day. How about you?
@@StrictlyChow I was also looking st jb4 it does seem the simplest way to go bro👍🏽
@@champion1389 the only thing I've heard is you must change the spark plugs when you go with JB4 or any other piggyback for this car
@@StrictlyChow oh really wow thanks for that important info
@@champion1389 no problem!
Can I use these for my 2019 3.3T sport G70 ???
Yeah! Mine is a 2019 3.3T Sport :)
@@StrictlyChow do I need anything else ?? Dealer keeps saying 58101J5A51. For FRONT and it’s like 700$ been looking for a 3rd party.
@@Giulia.K9 that's all you need ^^ just the brake pads. The link is in the video description :)
@@StrictlyChow do you know why the dealer would give me a different set of brembo brake pads ? Saying the front is $700 -$750
Rears 400
@@Giulia.K9 they're probably selling you OEM Brembo pads. Overpriced going to them
Pshhhh. I only put the lube on the pad material 🤪
Oof! Surprised you're still in one piece 😂
@@StrictlyChow hahahaha
