I've used duralast (gold) brakes on every car I've owned. Never had a problem. Only issue was the tabs on a few pads have been too big and I needed to file down 1/16" or so to make them seat smoothly in the slots. Quality seems good to me.

Pros: Quality seems good

Cons: tabs sometimes too big

brake pads when they get worn (should be a lot less frequent than an ICE car, some bolt owners go 100-150k+ without wearing through their first Original set!)

Pros: less frequent replacement

Vehicle: Chevrolet Bolt

Not a classic. I had an ‘84. First brand new car. It was a surprisingly good and cheap car for when I went to uni. Had to replace the brakes often. Thought it was the cheap car. In retrospect it was likely my driving habits.

Pros: good and cheap car

Cons: replace brakes often

They currently have sales on their duralast branded ones and even hand bundle sales. Duralast won’t be the best, but guarantee it’s better than those sawdust with grey spray can paint pads.

Pros: better than sawdust pads

Cons: won't be the best

Avoid duralast cause their pads don’t have good bite or good overall braking power. And sometimes they don’t fit.

Cons: no good bite, bad power

The brakes on that thing were absolutely horrible. If you had to panic stop it really was a panic. I never felt that sob was going to stop.

Cons: brakes absolutely horrible
