I'm starting to look for new fronts brakes as I'm about to pass the 30K mileage point. Anyone heard of disc italia brakes? I did a google search and found a lot of positive reviews with Chrysler people.

Any suggestions for ceramic pads? I'm not a fan of EBC as I have had bad experiences with them.

As for rotors, I'll probably go with the basic Centric Premium rotor. I wish Brembo made an OEM replacement for the cruze but they don't.

My brakes on my car are not that great , and my car only has 8000 km , I think it's to do with the 16 inch rim and big side wall just havering 18 inch low profiles would improve my braking dramatically , but my ride would be compromised and suspension components would wear quicker ,

there is no brake fade with disc brakes. thats a drum brake thing. as a drum heats up its fades away from the brake lining and then loses braking force. a disc as it heats up expands and pushes into the pads actually increasing the brake force.

What he said ! I'm sure the fade you will get will be the brake fluid boiling or the pads melting ( breaking down )

sounds correct as the dizezal would need more stopping power because of the heavier motor
