Rear brake pads, what is everyone using?


Recommended Posts

Time to do the rear brake pads, 66k and looks to be original pads. I have Akebonos on the front and they are awesome but pricey for the rear. Was looking for a basic pad, low dust. Looks like I might be going with the Advance house brand Ceramics, with coupon code they are $30, they are not completely dustless but are tolerable. What are you guys using?

I would use the same pad front nad rear to keep the fricton level the same,cost for braking is not a consideration when safety is prime,

I just replaced front centric rotors and Bendix CT3 ceramic pads WORST stopping combo I ever had,

with EBC Red Stuff Front and Rear, with Motorcraft rotors front, Initial useage fells great,Friction coefficiant .5 or GG, Great so far ,Marty

I got a good deal on Wagner thermoquiet prostop ceramic ones (their top of the line pad) at my local place with my discount $29, I figured they were better then advance since people complain about the brake dust. The rear akebono's were $86 local and about $60-65 online plus shipping. Thanks guys.

I have had great luck with many store brands and basic rotors. I however am more inclined to the Autozone High carbon steel rotors with their premium ceramic pads. Very quiet and great stopping ability. If Your brakes are making noise I guess you could by the Noise Dampeners and install those to get a quieter brake. You folks use your brakes too much I did not replace my fronts until 175,000 miles. The rears were replaced at 220,000 miles.
