Brake pads OEM KIA or WILWOOD

I bought a 2023 kia soul specifically for uber and just hit 100000 miles. Only problems ive had are nails in my tires and recently changed my rear brake pads.

I am driving a 2012 Kia rio hatchback daily. Over the period I did regular maintenance such as oil changes and some minor fluid changes. Changed tires twice and replaced front suspension parts and break pads once over 13 years of ownership.

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

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.

I have a 2015 Kia Soul I bought new. In over 9 years, not a single thing has gone wrong with it - no repairs of any kind. Just oil, brakes and tires.

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.

The rotors/brake pads are notoriously bad. The oem pads leave uneven deposits on the rotor. Causes shaking while braking. Ive replaced rotors twice. Got better pads and drilled and slotted rotors. No issues since.

I have run Wilwoods on my Corrado for years with the usual rebuilding every two years. Even with ABS under full braking using the BP10 pads it would occasionally lock up fully and blow a cogged belt off the supercharger.

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.

Wilwoods suck.
