Performance • Re: Brake upgrades

I've had good luck with Detroit Axel brand, on my 013 Limited I put on a pair of the HD slotted and cross drilled rotors. I'm running the Auto Zone ceramic pads Gold DG-1611, great price excellent performance, and low dust.

I researched many options brand wise and yes you can pay a boat load of money for brakes. I'm told the Detroit Axel brand rotors are made here in America with American metals which in my mind is a plus. The rotors had some form of silver plating probably cadmium, they looked real nice, and worked great.

My install is now almost 3.5 years old and the pads were still around 50% thickness when I looked six months ago, I'm not a heavy braker. Currently at about 65K on both pads and rotors. Just recently I've started feeling some slight pulsation from the front rotors so its close to replacement time. The AZ pads are "lifetime" as long as they don't get to metal on metal they will give you a new pair for free.

The rotors weren't too bad in price thinking around $130 for front rotors and pads, I didn't use their supplied pads. I think they shipped me the wrong material pads, didn't look or feel like ceramic, they felt like my old Repco Metal Masters from yesteryear, just too much metal-metal grinding sound and feel, the Duralast Gold pads were way-way better. Unfortunately the "Plandemic" was in full swing back then and I had a super hard time trying to get a DA representative on the phone to replace the pads, so I opted for the AZ pads.

Hope this helps. SCG
