I’m getting ready to do brake job on my 2022 ghibli Modena .
Having a tough time finding brake pads . The oem fronts are 673012383 rear 673012381
Can’t find any specs on these anywhere.
the oem are extremely pricey lol . Any recommendations?

I’m finding several options on eBay for oem pads but only older part numbers. is there a way to cross reference? These came with the oem rotors I ordered 980156013, it looks like they were replaced by 673010331 then 673012041 and then 673010892 and 673012041 and finally 673012383. My thinking is if the original pad was 980156013 should I be able to use it?

Since your Ghibli Modena uses Brembo calipers, you can cross-reference pads by fitment rather than chasing Maserati’s ever changing part numbers. The 980156013 pads should work if they match your caliper design (likely the same as older models). Check Brembo’s catalog (search by caliper type) or try aftermarket brands like Textar, Jurid, or Akebono they often make OEM equivalents for less. Avoid sketchy eBay listings unless they’re confirmed Brembo/OEM suppliers. Also, verify rotor compatibility some pad shapes changed slightly over revisions. If in doubt, call a Maserati specialist like Maserati Parts Hub or Eurospares to confirm fitment.

Hi thanks for the reply. The new front pads I have are 980156013 they came with a set of new oem rotors as a set. It looks like 673012041 replaced 673010331 that replaced what I have 980156013. See the part history from Eurospares website attached here. Also I have a picture of the pads I have . Looks like my 980156013 are the original part number . So you guys think I can use these . I hate to buy the latest part number they like $400 .

Well I believe I got some counterfeit rotors . What do you guys think? The last pic is of my stock rotor . The ones I received don’t look the same look like some of the aftermarket ones I was seeing while shopping.
The rotors were advertised as genuine Maserati and have the same
SHW Performance Made in Germany stamped on the rotors as the oem .

but they look nothing like the oem

rotor oem 670030935

You might try Formula Dynamics for brake pads. I bought a nice low-dust set for mine and they are still good after 45k miles (although I mostly drive highway with the Ghibli).

Of interest, a lot of the rotors are now coated to prevent rust.
An example of a reputable parts seller I use for brake parts in NJ ... you can see the pictures in the attachment.

Awitalian is a good vendor I just Baught some rear pads from them brembo. That link you posted is for aftermarket rotors and brembo pads . I don’t believe the rotors are the oem Maserati.
the Maserati rotors oem 670030935 look like the ones in this picture. The face of the rotor is almost like it’s aluminum very bright and it’s not painted. There is also an etched QR code and part number on the face of the rotor. The rotors I received from the eBay seller claiming genuine Maserati are probably knockoffs. The have a printed QR code and the center of the rotor is probably cast iron or steel painted to prevent rust . I we suspicious when the pads I got although in brembo box have the directional arrow on the pad with the sensor wire in the wrong direction. I have looked at other pads same part number and the arrow is in the correct direction. Also the real Maserati rotors come in a box with foam to protect the rotors the knock offs come in a bag no foam . Also the box print has no space between the words genuine and parts .
Either way they are trying to pass the aftermarket as Maserati. I have been reading online that China is selling counterfeit brembo parts . First two pictures here is my oem rotor and factory box. Third and fourth are the knockoffs

Your correct, the pads were Brembo and rotors were aftermarket. I posted that as an example of rotors that I would trust since they are sold by AW Italian even though they look like the knock-off in your picture.
Someone selling as OEM that look like the knock-off's I would be suspicious as you are suggesting. The box to your point isn't using genuine Maserati graphics either.

Well got my oem rotors today. here is a good side by side on the oem rotors Next to the knockoff . If you notice they even stamp the QR code on the face of the rotor . The even have the shw and made in Germany on the edge of rotor.
when i questioned the eBay seller they would not confirm genuine Maserati or brembo part just insisted “genuine supplier “. The oem feels a bit lighter too.another thing i noticed after installing the oem rotors and brake pads was way better stopping power.

One other thing I’m wondering is on the caliper bolts. I have been reading that they should be replaced. I’m on second install and torque. Where can I find the bolts for the front and rear ? As for the torque I have found conflicting information. 77 ft lbs to 118 ft lbs . Do you guys know the correct torque and bolt source
