2017 Alpha Romeo Quadrifoglio Brake pads

OEM brake pads are nowhere near 9k
You could go with EBC brake pads btw, very good reviews.

Are they Carbon Ceramic? If so, how many miles?

yes they are the car has 71,000 miles

While we're on the subject of pads, Ive always changed out my M car pads as soon as I get the new car home from the dealership as they are dusty as hell.. How are the standard QV pads in that regard?

Dust. So. Much. Dust. My '18 would dust up so bad so quick. My '20, oddly enough, dusts MORE in the rear. I suspect they changed the front pads but not the rear at some point, so the rears remained the dusty ones.

I've noticed that as well. My rears definitely had a thicker coat of dust. The stock pads certainly dust but I don't think they are German car level dust. The pads that came on our Audis were loud and very dusty. Felt like I was running a race pad. Would squeal coming to a gentle stop.

Check with Alfissimo International, a vender on this forum. He can save you $$ on either CC pads or a conversation kit to steel

what made you decide to change them? are they original?

Where are all the CCB loyalists who swear they last 2-3 times longer and the price is justified. 71k miles and now spending $9k.

I would do an iron girodisc swap asap

I'm still a loyalist lol depending on or how often it was tracked maybe? At 71k miles I can perhaps see the pads need changing, but definitely not the rotors, those are meant to last and last, but again depends on how it was driven.

@1128antonio , can you give us more details on how it was driven? Any pictures of the rotors or pads? I'm curious to see their condition after that many miles.

Same, 4-5 hard track sessions, mine are still like new. Of course I do not heavy brake unless needed so there is that. But at 41K mine have hardly any wear. I love them, car is so nimble with them and tecnicos. I just wish surface transforms (anyone else I will not trust one bit) would make some rotors for us but they have no interest. If I can find a rotor to match the hat, that would be killer but I get it, not enough cars for them to do anything with.

I'm right here🤣but we don't know yet why he wants to change them. Did he just decide to? Did a dealer tell him? Did they weigh the rotors? We don't know any info.
