What kind of brake pads?

[Tahoe7689]

I am changing my brake pads, but I dont know which brand/type to use. I have heard Hawk are good ones, which one do you guys recommend? (I have all OEM brake parts). Thanks!

If you have all OEM parts, as far as brakes wheels and tires, i would go with OEM grade pads. Stay away from vatozone, advance, murrays, and checkers blue light sale brake pads. I mean if you wanna trust your life to a set of $15.99 brake pads, then forgo my previous sentence.

I would definitely agree. I trust AC Delco for pretty much everything...can't really go wrong there.

I am for sure staying with OEM grade pads, but what would you recommend as far as OEM grade pads? Are Hawk better than OEM

 

[Sepiroth]

Unfamiliar with hawk brand. Do some research on them. They must meet or exceed OEM standards. BTW, if you are hooked on this Hawk brand, then go with them.

AC Delco = OEM

Hawk ceramic or HPS, the napa ceramix are good too. I'd look at the hawks, much better than any delco pad.

that's what I thought, thanks

I've got Hawks on my GTO and love 'em but I would stick with the stockers for the hoe. The HPS pads are a bit dusty and wear a little quick, but then again that may have something to do with my driving
