Hey guys! i know this has been discussed tons but just wanted some updated info, going to be swapping out the pads soon, my rotors are fine and looking for recommendations. i dont tow but i obviously want the best performance i can get for the price!
i was looking at rockauto and it seems like any of those brake pads are in my budget range, what do you guys recommend? i think i read the oe pads are: ac delco which are around $60 cad
i also see some akebono and some other brands for a little more,and also ACDELCO17D784SDHSevere Duty; Ceramic for $90 cad

what do you guys think? stay oem or do any of these other brands make better pads? im in canada so ill prob be ordering off rockauto or soemthing


thx!

 

I usually stay with OEM/ACDelco in most cases but I have used Power Stop brand with good luck on my K1500 truck.

i just ordered the powerstop brand. havent experienced them yet but read a lot of reviews before choosing them

 

I like the Wagner Thermoquiet pads. USA made!

 

At minimum do go with a ceramic type...... unless you like black brake dust on your wheels. Cheaper organic pads are terrible in that respect.

 

thanks for the help! yeah i will be staying with ceramic but so many brands to choose from, i think im looking between akebono, power stop and delco. any benefit to pay the extra for the power stop or akebono? or just stay with delco?

thx
