Detroit Axle › Brake pads

Noise:

I replaced the brakes, (pads and rotors) about a month ago. For some reason it has started making this noise and the one side in the front is really really hot after lots of breaking. I think I bought Detroit Axle parts or some parts that were like super super f****** cheap for a set of pads and rotors it was $70 on Amazon, the Piston seems about normal. Is it just that these parts suck cock?

Cons: noise when breaking, side really hot

Vehicle: Toyota Corolla

If you’re not doing track days & the like then I’ve always gone with Detroit Axle’s products! Had them on my Off-Road/Mudding Durango, I’m about to change out my rear pads and rotors on my Accord with their stuff as well

Pros: good for off-road use

I’ve used Powerstop pads and rotors as well as Akebono pads. Rotors are so so, but definitely better than Duralast IMO. Recently did a brake job with Detroit Axle pads on my current GX, VERY happy with the pads so far, even with my original rotors.

Pros: very happy, better than Duralast

Cons: rotors so so

Vehicle: Lexus

Detroit axle slotted and drilled rotors with their ceramic pads are amazing for not a lot of money.

I tow a 5k trailer and the trailer brakes don't work. My truck brakes stop the trailer like it isn't there.

Pros: good stopping power, inexpensive

Dust:

I got cross drilled, and slotted rotors, with ceramic brake pads(for the front!) for ~$300……really cut down on brake dust! 15,000mi on windy, steeply graded roads, and my pads look like the day they were installed!

Pros: reduced brake dust, long lasting

Mileage: 15000 km

Installing anything Detroit axle, especially ball joints and brake pads is a death wish. It's a horrible nightmare of a company with trash products. I've seen parts be faulty out of the box or fail catastrophically on the highway within a month. I saw brake pads crumble to dust and cause a (thankfully minor) fender bender, but it would have killed someone if it had been higher speeds. They just happened to crumble while parked. Bosch is only a couple bucks more and much better. I would strongly encourage you not to use those parts.

Cons: faulty, fail catastrophically, crumble to dust
