What do you guys think about these pads? Are they worth the money?

They seem to be just Brembo oem pads, so yes, go for it. Also FMSR is a reputable company, although new.

If they don't squeak like my HP+, I'll get them.
FMSR looks reputable, but I see that their products are not covered by any warranty. I was thinking to get their F40 6 speed staged tranny with cryo treatment, but if it breaks and they don't cover it, I don't think I'll spend that kind of money for it. Omiotek told me that they can build me a staged and cryoed tranny and they will stand behind it 100%, so it would be my choice.

I would too. I think they will be my choice when it's time to replace mine. On the description it says that they are quiet, but who knows. If I would know for sure that they are quiet and not loud like my HP+, I will get them

I mean I'd have to imagine Brembo offering a better product than Hawk does. I'd imagine a higher co-efficient of friction as well, possibly similar to the OEMs?

I haven't had a chance to try Brembo's pads on anything yet as they are still relatively new to the whole replacement pad thing, even though they offer OEM factory solutions. Funny how that works, really.

Brembo means top quality - Brembo brakes are manufactured in conformity with ISO 9004 and ISO 14001 standards. Aftermarket products are covered by the Brembo Warranty and carry ABE/TÜV certification from the German Federal Road Safety Office.

I think Brembo pads are the best on the market for our car, that's why I'm thinking to get them. As long as they don't squeak, they are my choice for the next pad's replacement

OEM pads aka Brembo Ferodo HP1000 pads are the best you can get in terms of stopping power and efficiency. They may make more brake dust than aftermarket pads and be more expensive but they are well worth it, I ran an aftermarket set of pads for about 2 weeks and when I hit the brakes it felt like I was driving my uncle's 1967 Dodge Polara with 4 way drum brakes.

I really don't care about the dust, I care about them being not noisy

That might be an issue as even the OEMs have some squeak to them. Generally it's rare if you get a high CO pad that does not squeak.

I don't really ever get much noise from the OEM pads. Just lots and lots of dust haha. Turns my black wheels brown if I don't wipe them down daily.
