Brake pads Brembo or OEM Chevrolet
I mean I hit 90k miles before I needed pads on a chevy colorado so...
I have a 13 year old Chevy Volt with 173,000 miles still on its original brakes.
Brembo or Better Bosch for reliability for more dustless brakes.
I’m running Wagner oe+ on the rear = 160
Brembo pads = 60
Oem on the front 160 each on prl
Hawks 150
Did it all myself so roughly 700 and it feels better than it was before
Pair of brembo replacements is 200ish pads hawks like 80 rears just use centric rotors and hawk pads it should be under 600 to do all 4 yourself this car is pretty easy to do.
I went with Brembo OE ceramic pads and their cross drilled rotors. Bit better bite than stock, IMO. Not very noisy and dust is about the same as stock
To save you money, they probably did not need to change right rear caliper if only your left one was seized. They also could’ve given you options for prices on brakes and rotors as it appears they quoted you for dealer quality brake pads.
I'm running a Trueno, which has the factory Brembos. With the stock pads at a track with a decent amount of braking demand (at which I've had more severe brake issues in several other cars), I get about half way into a session before they start to fade... not bad, but enough to notice reduced performance (firm pedal, just longer braking zones). There's no doubt that running an actual track pad that's meant for the heat will completely resolve the issue.
Man I have civic ep3 I know it's not the same but I did mine for 180 pounds it's like 220buck brembo pads and rotors front and back. I did it myself but dude that sound fucking expensive
Every GM performance car I’ve had squealed until I dumped the OEM Brembo pads.
