Rating 4.0

Last year a shop replaced the rear brake pads and disks but since then handbrake never was like before. They kept telling me it will get better which I believed at the time but it never did. Last month I've passed inspection and they told me that the rear left handbrake was almost out of spec and I'd need to check it out although it passed.

So a month later I've bought a Bosch kit, sliders, pads, grease, toolkit etc and replaced the 1 year old ferodo pads. Now handbrake is like it should be and I'm happy with it but take a look at the old pads...

Both inner side alignment pins (caliper side) are bent.

Pros: handbrake works correctly
Cons: pins bent, poor installation

Duralast Brake pads

Rating 4.5

The dynamic friction geocoated rotors and pads just went onto my 07 liberty and they were easy and feel great, no noise. Hopefully they will actually prevent getting as rusty as my last ones, as I live in the PNW and rust is EVERYWHERE.

Pros: easy install, feels great, no noise

Bosch Brake pads

I had this problem after working on a friend's Infiniti FX35 and also using Bosch ceramic brake pads.

The problem for me was that Bosch pads have a different inside and outside pad for the rears for that vehicle. I've used Bosch pads before and never encountered this.

The pads were not marked and nothing on the box indicated there were different sides so I didn't notice. But they have protruding nubs on the backing that cause the caliper to not sit properly and increase their thickness, causing constant drag on the rotors.

Pros: pads cause constant drag
Cons: pads not marked
Vehicle: Infiniti
