+2 I went with EBC pads.....stop great and no fuss

 

Yes the EBC reds are the way to go.

I dust my wheels every 3 days. What ever you do don't use anything that is abrasive on the wheel. It is clear coated and will scratch. Just used some car detailer and a micro fiber towel and wash the towel out when you are done.

When I wash I also wash the inside of the wheel. Once the brake dust get embedded or baked in it is near impossible to remove so never let it build up.

 

Which brand Bat?

I'm with you. I'd like to get my money's worth out of the stockers. But damn it's irritating.

 

I changed my pads on my brembos at just over 40k I didnt realize that the inner driver pad was gone and I got a pair of rotors from my buddy with a ss/tc with 3k on them. I bought pads from autozone, the premium ceramic duralast gold and they seem to be good, only problem is they came with the wrong brake pins so i had to reuse my stock ones. A ton less pad on the rims now lol.

 

(Wagner ) top of the line ceramic. I think they were called thermo quiet, But not positive.
I've got over 35,000 miles on them, with no problems, no squeeking, and they stop on a dime.

 

Where did you get them bat? online? Link?

 

I believe it was giant auto , which is now O'rileys. Yep its the ceramic version of the thermo quiet line.

O rileys... gee i don't like them. Ruined my Murray's auto parts store.

I looked around on ebay but can't seem to find the pads that I know will fit my brembo fronts.

 

I work at autozone, the pads are good, last a good long time. I had to look them up for a 2008 cobalt ss as our computers are not fully up to date on the pads, kept bringing up non brembos and gave me no option. Only problem is that the caliper slide pins don't work and i had to reuse them which isnt a big deal, cleaned them off and lubed them up. No problems. I forget who it is that manufactures the Duralast pads, I thought it was wagner but I could be mistaken. I remember watching something on speed years ago that was showing some manufacturer place that makes brake pads that they support and they were the ones who made the duralast line.

 

It would be nice if I could find a good low dust option with great stopping power.
