Owner reviews for brake pads

I went with hps 5.0s and they’re great but I should’ve gone less aggressive

The EBC product is self bedding, extremely low dust and have excellent modulation. I've run several sets.

akebono are very good ceramic pads. i recently bought them (proact) and centric gcx rotors for a brake job. very good and long lasting setup from what i know.

I've beat the crap out of EBC Yellow pads on my Ranger with a RTT and the back loaded full of stuff. They do have a lot of dust but they are heavy load rated I believe.

Akebono pads and Raybestos rotors

Power Stop stuff is amazing, I am super impressed with their pads material. Zero brake dust and stop on a dime.

Volvo uses a softer compound. I think they call them comfort brakes or something? I would always get about 40k miles out of my pads on my XC90. I switched to an Acura MDX and got 140k miles out of my pads. Volvo brakes work really well but I’ve never had a set last really long time.

I have tried EBC yellowstuff and Ferodo DS2500. EBC yellowstuff won't handle anything on track...they just melt, they arent bad for the price but I prefer the DS2500.

It’s def a GM wide issue for sure, started happening in what 20 or 21. GM said it’s normal at the time then 2 years later came out with updated pads n rotors to fix said issue.

MB advisor here, GLC brakes are horrible with noise.
