Brake pads Bosch or OEM KIA

OEM brake pads are most of times manufactured by BOSCH. So if you can identify the supplier you spend less $$$ for your spares

I believe a division of Bosch’s automobile braking development is in NKY. They did the newish NSX brakes there.

Amazon usually has pretty good prices on Bosch pads if you prefer a brand name.

I did just bad slap my 13 recently with bosch blue caramics, and they have been great too.

I've only replaced my break pads twice and one new pair of car tires.

I felt the stock 4th gen brake pads didn't grip as tight as would be expected on a 4 caliper brake system. So I replaced them with Bosch ceramic brakes. Highly recommend this to any of yall who feel the same.

If you slam on the brakes above 40 mph (when it is clear and safe to do so), you can feel the blood rush to your face.

I put Bosch QuiteCast pads and rotors on mine a year ago and have been very happy.

I get this too since I replaced pads and rotors (Bosch Quietcast pads/Zimmermann rotors). To me, it's more of a click than a clunk.

I got Bosch pads for my '15 off of Amazon. They've been fine on the street, but I've not really pushed the brakes hard

Kia Sportage SUV, brakes locked up about 2K miles in, shop "fixed" it, the next week it literally spontaneously combusted in the wee hours of the morning.
