Brake pads Zimmermann or OEM Hyundai

I bought the Zimmerman/Akebono kit when the E92 needed front brakes. I'm amazed how brake dust has been nearly eliminated and it has good bite.

I hate the brake dust and went with the Zimmerman/Akebono kit, it's amazing how clean the wheels have been since installing them.

Did the brakes myself on my elantra and spent about $60. Brakes are super easy and massively overcharged by dealers.

That's probably the kit I'd go with for my GLI. Again, as a daily driver... it meets the needs. The semi-metallic pads work good in many different temp ranges. However, semi-metallic pads also produce more brake dust, so you'll get more debris on your rotors faster. One of the other downsides is that they're more aggressive on the braking rotor because they're metallic, so you'll need to check your rotors more often for thinning.

I bought the Zimmerman kit with ceramic pads from FCPEuro for $530 front and rear and did the work myself.

They work great they are an oem supplier.

has anyone driven the new Elantra? I mean, I was IMPRESSED. I daily drive a 12 year old car, but the features, comfort, and ride blew me away. The steering's light, the brakes are touchy, but what a terrific commuter car. It's amazing to see how good these economy cars are, that the Elantra should place last. I fell in love with the Elantra the 4 days I got to drive it.

Had to take out a loan fr 3k for brake pads and labour to put them on. From a huge well known dealership. Local mechanic did the same thing for around 300 dollars a year later when they failed.

Our 2003 Santa Fe has 60,000 miles on it. Just had the accessory belt and tensioner replaced... I swear I had the brakes nearly to the floor every time I wanted to stop. It just felt like I had to keep pushing harder. It's like pushing into a sponge.
