I just put Zimmerman rotors and Bosch pads on my front end for ~$400. Worth every penny.
Check Rockauto. I replaced my brakes about 2 years ago with Dynamic Friction Geospec coated rotors and Bosch quiet cast pads. Still in great condition and stops on a dime.
I went with Bosch pads this time on OEM rotors.
I swear by Bosch quietcast. I’ve done cheap brands before but seem to squeak, fade, or make too much dust.
Bosch brake pads are good for me in my performance pack.
OEM brake pads are most of times manufactured by BOSCH. So if you can identify the supplier you spend less $$$ for your spares
I bought a bike off a coworker and took it in to be serviced. Turns out the bike I bought was the equivalent of a model T Ford. They didn't make the brake pads for my model any more kinda old.
$500 for a wheel alignment and new Bosch pads on all 4 wheels. Car is a 2010 Cruze.
Fiesta ST brakes are terrible. Just replace the discs and pads....again....
When we bought our Ford lightening... the sales person told me with a strait face "people think that evs go through less brakes, but really its actually rhe opposite" when trying to sell me a maintenance package...
