I just checked my maintenance notes and for my car I bought brake pads for $18.98 for the front set. They were Wagner OEX closeout and they are still going fine at 30,000 miles.

Pros: still going fine

Mileage: 48280 km

I've had no problem with Wagner, Bosch, Hella/Pagid, and Brembo; Raybestos, Bendix, Beck/Arnley, Centric, etc are all solid options for a daily driver too.

Pros: solid options

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

Oem is expensive and are dealer items, and quality aftermarket brakes are readily available. Look for raybestos or Wagner brands for domestic vehicles, ebc for European vehicles. And there is no need for oem wear parts

Pros: quality aftermarket available

Cons: oem is expensive

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

Vehicle: Chevrolet Chevette

Cons: brakes absolutely horrible
