Brake pads Mintex or OEM Chevrolet

In short: support your local motor factors, and buy Mintex brakes and pads. I've a 107 and the Mintex pads/brakes have been brilliant.

I was on the hunt for a facelift LT1 car and specifically went after a 95 for the stock bigger brakes and a few other things. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend.

The brake rotors from the Grand Cherokee and Caprice are nearly the same measurements though so I can mix and match. The bonus is that because of the 1996 Impala SS you can get performance brake pads for the Caprice calipers.

I've got a set of Mintex ones, reasonably cheap and work well for the street.

After 70K miles of fun driving, I finally replaced my front brake rotors and pads...3mm left on the pads LOL. I got Zimmermann Rotors($180) and Mintex pads($45) and couldn't be happier. In fact, this set-up feels a lot better than the OEM bite and feel plus the massive reduction in brake dust.

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.

As stated, installed new Mintex front pads and I believe I installed correctly. rattle only occurs when not braking, when brakes applied immediately disappears.

We had a red one when I was a kid. Red with black interior. We put some 90s appropriate chrome wheels on it. Tons of good memories cruising around in that thing. I thought it looked so good, but it had the smaller V6 so it was dog slow and the brakes were terrible.

Loose steering, very wallowy, crappy brakes, very much a truck but even teenage me though it felt ancient.

I didn't like the Mintex Redbox pads on my Passat. They overheated too quickly and felt spongy.
