Brake pads Raybestos or JURID

The OEM rotors wear very quickly. The OEM pads are Akebono semi organic which are actually pretty good. However the OEM pads create a ton of brake dust which makes the wheels look terrible. When I replaced mine about a year ago I went the aftermarket route and used Raybestos rotors and pads.

The best overall for my use are Raybestos “Truck and Medium Duty”.

I always buy from Rockauto, but check if the part is on Amazon for comparable price for the free shipping. With brake parts especially I highly recommend buying the best you can afford. Cheap pads and rotors will be noisier and more likely to warp and give vibration when braking. The cheapest pads are also usually bonded meaning the friction material is only glued onto the backing plate, and I’ve seen them separate, especially a risk if you drive where rust is an issue. Also cheap pads don’t always include abutment clips and good shims.

I just changed my rear pads and rotors. Bought raybestos from rockauto. $80 shipped.

Like the previous comment said, akebono is their oem supplier, imo I like raybestos the best because they’re super cheap on rock auto and they produce a lot less dust if you go with ceramic pads instead of metallic

I have Raybestos Element 3 pads on 2 of our 3 cars and brake dust is next to nothing.

I recently replaced front and rear pads and rotors on my 2021 CE TURBO with Raybestos EHT3 pads and element 3 rotors (rear) and Raybestos specialty performance rotors (front). I'd highly recommend them. They stop a little better than stock and handle heat a lot better. The rotors are also fully coated and don't rust. They've been 100% quiet and feel great.

Last point since you're doing brakes, I'll plug Raybestos Element 3 pads and rotors. Installed them on my wife's car last year and I'm genuinely impressed at the braking response in her car.

In hindsight, however, I do drive 15 miles up/down/through a mountain pass 5 days a week. That’s gotta be the culprit!
