I would go with the Brembo replacement brakes over FCPEuro. I have the FCPEuro, and the Brembo's are better OE replacement.

Yes - the MY18 will work.

Thanks for looking into it. FCP Euro brake pads were not good for me. I didn't even wait until they were down to replacement spec. I went back to OEM's and felt much better. FCP Euro Rotors were good however, but looks like Brembo may have a leg up on the Rotors.

FCP Euro brakes are good if you do a lot of highway driving, but short/city driving they're terrible.

Are you referring to pads or rotors.

Both - they don't have the same bite as OEM.

They're decent replacements, but not the same as OEM. Brembo is better, but you can always go OEM, too.

This is a heavy SUV, and OEM brakes lasted 35K miles. FCP Euro brakes have 20K miles on them, but they don't have the same feeling as they did when new. Either the material is supposed wear down faster, or they don't last because of how heavy our SUV's are.

I am going to get Brembo rotors/pads installed in the Spring time. I'm expecting these to have better feeling than OEM but we will see.
