Re: Brake rotor and pads time not sure what to get
ebc pads, espicially the green pads always have good reviews.
whatever you do just buy a good named brand. i tried to cheap out and installed Napa pads in the driveway... after 2 weeks they SCREEECH.
I went back to Oem pads and machined the rotors, im a happy camper now.  |

Re: Brake rotor and pads time not sure what to get
i just did mine and used oem pads with autozone rotors. the oem pads cost me $95 and the rotors were $90 for both with a 2 yr warranty. no noise and very little, if any brake dust.

Re: Brake rotor and pads time not sure what to get
How many miles were you guys at when your OEMs finally needed replaced? I'm at 97,000+ and the dealer says mine are still very good. I just find that a little hard to believe...

Re: Brake rotor and pads time not sure what to get
Im @ 57,000 + the issue I am having is the ruff winters of Europe and this wonderful powered crap they use on the roads instead of salt over here have eaten the rotors and they are rusting bad. Mixed with the high speeds of the autobahns wears down the rotors / pads I normal cruise @ 85 to 90+ mph on the autobahn, add in over sized tires (37in)  pad/rotors go bad faster.

Actually, having worked in a shop that did brakes, that does not suprise me at all. Brake life will vary with how and where you drive, but you will not find pads that will last as long, be as quiet, and and make as little dust as the OEM ones. They did get some things right at GM. Toyotas are the same way. Their brakes last forever!

My original rear pads have finally worn out at 203,000 miles! Guess I'm not a heavy braker. |
