Oem is expensive and are dealer items, and quality aftermarket brakes are readily available. Look for raybestos or Wagner brands for domestic vehicles, ebc for European vehicles. And there is no need for oem wear parts
Pros: quality aftermarket available
Cons: oem is expensive
I just checked my maintenance notes and for my car I bought brake pads for $18.98 for the front set. They were Wagner OEX closeout and they are still going fine at 30,000 miles.
Pros: still going fine
Mileage: 48280 km
Wagner severe duty pads also have treated me well.
Pros: good performance
I've had no problem with Wagner, Bosch, Hella/Pagid, and Brembo; Raybestos, Bendix, Beck/Arnley, Centric, etc are all solid options for a daily driver too.
Pros: solid options
At 75K went with OEM rotors in the rear and some Wagner QS ZD1108 ceramic pads. Then went with some Brembo 09.C306.11 rotors in the front with EBC Reds ceramic pads. I don’t track. Stopping power is about the same. I didn’t notice a huge difference. What I did notice, much quieter stopping and NO MORE BROWN BRAKE DUST. Yes, still get brake dust but not nearly as much. And when it collects, it’s more of a light white dust. Easy to clean. Super happy with the change. Even in the winter, stopping power is good.
Pros: quieter stopping, less dust
Vehicle:
Volkswagen
Mileage: 75000 km
Wagner thermoquiet here. Works perfectly.
Pros: works perfectly
I also changed the rear brake pads to Wagner ZD1761 ceramic because the stock pads stink.
Cons: stock pads stink
Part number: ZD1761
I’ve used Wagner thermoquiet pads and the cheapest wholesale close out rotor with good results.
Pros: good results, inexpensive
Bosch and Wagner rotors and ceramic pads are my preferred brands. I put new Wagner front brake pads on the Frontier 5 1/2 years ago and they still have about 3mm left.
Pros: long lasting, reliable
Vehicle:
Nissan
