Owner reviews for brake pads

I went in for a 30k service (2021 Ascent) and mentioned the brake judder and warranty extension. They confirmed and ordered the parts (pads and rotors), awaiting parts now but it seems it will be all be covered.

If my customers choose aftermarket, I always get

380mm centric high carbon rotors

Centric posi-quiet ceramic brakes.

The centric rotors are the absolute best bang for your buck.

I find paid results in comebacks, and oddly enough I get a lot of comebacks when I use brembo brake pads and rotors (they are 100% a different formulation than the land rover brembo OEM spec)

I’ve used Powerstop pads and rotors as well as Akebono pads. Rotors are so so, but definitely better than Duralast IMO. Recently did a brake job with Detroit Axle pads on my current GX, VERY happy with the pads so far, even with my original rotors.

I use ebc pads and rotors. I don't see the point in spending hundreds or thousands more for galfer and the latest cool shit

I recently (about 5K miles ago) did Powerstops and absolutely love them. I’ve done many brakes on many of my Toyota/Lexus SUVs and most of the time have had best luck with OEM, but the OEM on my Sequoia not so much (warping/pulsing). With much research found the Powerstop drilled and slotted are great for these large beasts…and indeed they are!

Guy above says don’t go cheap….I just used some raybestos pads and rotors for the rear I got from rock auto for 100$. Cheap, fast and easy. First time doing brakes and despite some snags had it done in an hour.

I went aftermarket with centric posi-quiet pads or Bosch quiet cast. Won’t ever go back to factory.

Those are very good EBC pads, they also don’t destroy rotors. I will warn you that a brake bedding is absolutely critical with those. They very much rely on the transfer layer for better stopping performance and to not destroy your rotors. Thankfully, usually within 2 to 3 laps they have enough heat in them that you’re able to get a good transfer layer going.

Hatte bereits alle möglichen Sensoren, Traggelenke, Koppelstangen, Querlenker und sogar Bremsschreiben + Beläge von denen. Bisher alles ohne Probleme und passgenau sogar die Bremsen waren nicht schlechter oder besser wie die TRW die davor drauf waren. Bei den Ridex Radlagern ist mir aufgefallen das Originale länger halten

then somehow the brake pads fell off, the windscreen wiper stopped working in the middle of a storm
