Brake pads Ferodo or OEM Chevrolet

Ferodo ds2500 is a great option. I’ve heard yellows are noisy/dusty. I’ve inhaled plumes of it first hand on the track.

Stock PP1 pads are Ferodo DS2500. Actually pretty good.

Now I have a 19 R DSG, and I've tracked it twice (Summit Point and VIR) with nothing more than new rotors, Ferodo brake pads and Motul 500 fluid. I never had any overheating issues with either the brakes or the oil, but both weekends were cooler weather.

I’d recommend DS2500’s. They are a bit noisy for everyday but the performance is worth it. Nice and predictable feel

I have personally bought Ferodo brake pads from AF1racing for my 2022 SR/S. Pads work great

I had to replace my Bolt's pads because of using the friction brakes so little due to one-pedal driving, they rusted out. It's actually important to make a point of using your friction brakes every now and then.

Previous discs and pads were OEM and the new ones are Ferodo. As mentioned previously, the sound was there with the OEM parts as well.

Back in September 2024, I bought two Chevy Equinox EV 2025s — one for me and one for my wife. Both vehicles have less than 10,000 miles on them. And guess what? Both are already having the exact same issue: the brakes make a horrible squealing noise every time you press the pedal, and when you go in reverse the sound is absolutely unbearable.

I’ve taken both SUVs to the dealer twice already. Each time I had to pay $35 for a brake inspection, and both times they told me “everything was fine.” Now, on the third visit, they suddenly tell me the brake pads need to be replaced, and it’s going to cost $498 PER VEHICLE. That’s nearly $1,000 out of my pocket for what I strongly believe is a manufacturing defect.

Here’s what frustrates me the most:

• Both vehicles are covered under the extended warranty, but the dealer says brakes are “not included.”

• They claim the warranty only covers the battery and motors.

• How is it possible that two brand-new vehicles, same model, same mileage, bought at the same time, have the same brake problem, and it’s NOT considered a factory defect?

This makes zero sense. Honestly, I feel scammed. I trusted Chevy, bought two brand-new EVs, and in less than a year they’re already trying to squeeze almost a grand out of me for something that should not be happening.
