Owner reviews for brake pads

I put a set of PowerStop Z36 on my 2008 Silverado 1500 w/ rear drums and the improvement in brake performance was substantial.

If we're talking brake pads highly recommend aekobono brake pads just truly different very smooth no noise and will last easily 60,000 miles

Got the OEM brakes installed not too long ago and they’re definitely worth the install. Two year warranty with them at VW.

toyota uses akebono as an oem manufacturer for most of their brake pads. i run akebonos on my car and they run amazing. akebonos are one of the best ceramic pads imo and they last a long time with no noise and barely any brake dust.

Bosch quiet cast or Zimmerman. Also Bosch blue pads, ceramic if you want clean and semi metallic if you want to stop

Akebono are the best brake pads, rotors you can get on eBay slotted and drilled for less $200 (front and rear)

Centric rotors and Powerstop brake pads, I have the Z23s. They stop well and very little dust.

The only other good thing from this visit is that they measured the brake pad thickness which confirmed that I need to replace the pads soon. We are currently at 59k and the rears are in the red at 3mm while the front was at 5mm.

Front brake pads are worn. I have a new set of Jurid OEM pads that will come with the car.

I just had the worst experience with EBC redstuff pads. brand new pads, and the first time i put pressure on them - they fail - badly! overheating within 5 minutes of spirited driving in the mountains.
