Brake pads TRW or OEM Hyundai

I have a 21' Hyundai Accent which was basically the sedan version of the Venue before the Accent got axed. I live in the NE so I've encountered plenty of road salt as well as coastal salt/driving through minor coastal flooding. My car has basically zero rust underneath. I wash it immediately (within 24 hours) of driving through coastal flooding or winter treated roads, or as soon as temps go above freezing. Shit, I've got 80k on this car on the original brake pads and there's NO rust on the rotors or calipers, which to me is an unexpected surprise for someone who drives in corrosive conditions.

On the other hand, all I did to it was change oil, brake pads, tires and spark plugs. Ran all the time, snow, sun, rain. Drove it everywhere. Put loads of miles on it.

If you want comfort, use an OE supplier (TRW, Textar, pagid), if you want more performance at the cost of some added noise/dust, Ferodo/hawk/EBC

When I bought one of my cars used I immediately noticee the brakes felt horrible. As in they didnt feel like they wanted to stop. Its almost like when your slowing down and coming up on the car infront you expect your car to slow down faster than it is right now. So you oush down harder and harder and you get maybe 10% more braking.  Yeah. Swapped those pads out for some street performance pads. Night and day difference. The brakes actually work now. Good initial bite and good modulation.

Since purchasing in summer of 24 have replaced the battery and both back and front brakes. Also very strict with oil changes. Loving everything about it.

I have a 2013 Hyundai accent glass. But it works and no serious issues. Just the common brakes and tires. Great on gas. Has some pep. And fits 5 people easily. Big trunk space.

The \u201ctaga-alagang\u201d mechanic nung seller said it was just a \u201cbraking issue\u201d since matagal daw na unused yung unit. Need daw ireplace yung brake pads.

I’ve used trw and jurid pads with Zimmerman rotors and an R1 concepts kit, with their most aggressive pad compound. The TRW ceramic pads are fine, a bit noisy when cold in my experience. Jurid was the same. Zimmerman rotors warped on me in about 20k miles and the car was really only driven in the city so I, personally, wouldn’t pay the slight premium to get them.

only thing I hate about it are the brakes, but it's a hyundai thing, the brake pedal travel is too low

Late last year had the brakes completely fail on a 3 day old Pallisade and the dealer told the victims that yes it’s a known problem. No there’s not a fix, have a nice day and let them drive off in it. I basically begged them to pick anything else but they wouldn’t hear it, that is until they almost crashed with my two nephews in tow.
