Brake pads DBA or OEM KIA

It’s got 102,700kms on the clock and owned it since new. I’m still on my first set of brake pads.

I have these exact pads. HUGE improvement.

I have the T2s and the DBA SP Street Performance Brake Pads, the green ones, on 4 corners along with SS brake lines. They have been rock solid since sept of 2022 over 50k miles. Hardly any brake dust compared to Stoptech street semi metallic. They are a great all-round setup, Street and canyons.

I'm running DBA Street Performance pads. Low dust and performance seems fine. I'd buy again.

I changed my wife's KIA Soul pads at 60k miles. Used OEM pads. Checked a month or two ago and they were still halfway through. She is at 200k miles.

2x som menil brzdy, oba razy za cca €400.

Lastly, I had the well-known brake pad deposit problem on the rotors, which over time (about 5-6k miles for me) would cause the steering wheel and car to shake a bit when breaking, similar to the feeling you get when the rotors are warped. I had the rotors cut once, then all four rotors and pads replaced, and then the front rotors were replaced again. As many other Stinger owners online have said, once they replaced the stock rotors and pads with a good set of aftermarket rotors and pads, or some even just machining their stock rotors and getting new aftermarket pads, that seems to have solved the issue for them.

Junk. Brakes are too small. Have to replace quickly. Plastic shit interior.

I installed rear DBA ceramic pads and rear TRW ceramic discs last weekend and after a week I’m seeing these aggressive scratch channels circled in red. I do hear a constant scraping while driving without braking.

Factory tires are garbage, but good all seasons and it gets around in the snow fairly well. My rear brake pad that had little wear, fell apart while driving in the mountains around the same time ( not covered ), I have never seen or heard of this happening before here or on other vehicles.
