Brake pads EBC or OEM Chevrolet
The EBC FA606HH are a good upgrade. Great feel and initial bite.
I upgraded to a two piece rotor (kit reused the stock caliper, I put EBC green pads in) and never had fade problems again.
Slap some EBC RedStuff or YellowStuff Pads on & you'll change your mind quickly.
The Xtra ones are a bit better, harder breaking but will wear a bit quicker. I went with EBC RedStuff pads myself and they’re brilliant but at a minimum I’d be going for the Xtras here if you’re driving it hard.
Traveling at 65mph on open road and a coyote comes running onto the road right infront of me from the open field. Slammed the brakes and got down to maybe 15mph, probably the quickest ive braked ever. Thanks EBC pads and rotors!!
EBC red stuff or Hawk HPS 5.0 pads. Both are better performing than stock and create less dust.
EBC green brake pads have that fish smell too.
For road course, EBC yellows will be OK for beginning, but won’t last more then 3 or 4 days as you progress
A couple of months after purchase the breaks starting squeeking and a 1 1/2 years later they haven’t stopped. I have had the front ones replaced but I keep getting told it is due to no copper in the break pads anymore - I call BS to that. I also had to get a faulty sensor replaced for the front end because it was causing my car to abruptly stop when I attempted to pull off from a parked position. It was thinking something was in front of me so the front end collision thing was kicking in. I’ve also had to get the fuel injectors replaced because they went bad while in a road trip this summer. Luckily we were almost back home instead 800 miles away still. Currently waiting for rear breaks to come in so those can be replaced to hopefully stop this squeak.
EBC yellow. And I WILL go back to OEM next. These are not that good tbh. I don't really care about the dust btw.
