Owner reviews for brake pads

2011 Ram 1500. DIY replaced factory front and rear rotors and ceramic pads at 118k. I replaced front pads only at about 200k. Now at 250k I just replaced rear pads and rotors. Do it yourself for like $150 an axle.

I’m at 155,000km and I’m about to replace my OEM rotors and pads this month with DBA slotted rotors + DBA XP/SP brake pads. I do 75% highway driving and I never have to brake hard.

I replaced the front rotors and pads with factory Brembo at 45k. When the rears needed replacement at 55k, I replaced the front and rear rotors and pads with PowerStop Z26. Couldn’t be happier with the swap - less dust and better stopping than stock.

Hawk DTC-60 pads are the best value performance pads I found. Stock blank rotors are fine, I upgraded to a 335i sport caliper set and its been more than sufficient for many track days

I have EBC Greens on my '95 miata with 80k miles and 3mm on each corner due to spirited driving.

Given that and the new ceramic brake pads by Akebono and the car is now very quiet.

I would recommend getting TRW Ceramics if you're going to change them. Affordable, good stopping power, low dust, quiet

The EBC RPX pads are their race ones and are incredibly good for the price. They last a long time and have serious bite. I have these paired with their fully floating rotors and callipers and have not had a single issue in a year of tracking my e46 m3.

Raybestos Brake Pads - SGD924C - $25 obo

Oriellys generally carries good discount auto parts like wix, wearever brake pads. Buy duralast break pads and watch a hour and half job turn into a all day cussathon. One time before I knew better I forced a set on thinking "well that's how they came must be oem fit" they jammed and warped the rotor in 2 months. Replaced them again dads watching me struggle and cussing the world going for a hammer. Dad " WTH do you need a hammer for? Let me see them. He inspected them and came to the conclusion they were sloppily made. The slide ears were chunky globs of material that were slightly oversized and rounded instead of being straight contact surfaces. Only after carefully taking a dremel to them did they fit correctly.
