Brake pads Bosch or OEM KIA

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 have a 22 Telly, 103k miles. I’ve replaced rear or front brake pads can’t remember which at 102k, and routine oil changes. THAT’S IT.

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.

I am on my second Kia vehicle, and they both have been amazing. 100k miles on my optima when it was totaled, and only thing ever replaced were the brakes at like 80k miles, besides regular oil changes.

$500 for a wheel alignment and new Bosch pads on all 4 wheels. Car is a 2010 Cruze.

The Stinger is notorious for this same problem—I know first hand. Sad part is don’t let Kia touch it because the problem is the brake pad. OE pad material adheres to the rotor.

I recently replaced all the brake pads on my 2020 brz performance package, and it now squeals way more than before and has a noticeable clunk when pressing the brake pedal especially after reversing. I got Bosch Ceramic QuietCast pads from Rockauto, used ceramic lubricant on the back of the pads and all contact surfaces, and silicone lubricant on the pins. Once I apply a good amount of pressure to the brakes, they're very quiet for awhile but eventually start squealing again. Also I did do the bedding process and it didn't change anything, plus that wouldn't stop the clunking.
