If you want to buy the parts yourself and have a mechanic install them, then you cannot go wrong with bendix for your pads and dba for your rotors.
I just put Zimmerman rotors and Bosch pads on my front end for ~$400. Worth every penny.
Check Rockauto. I replaced my brakes about 2 years ago with Dynamic Friction Geospec coated rotors and Bosch quiet cast pads. Still in great condition and stops on a dime.
I went with Bosch pads this time on OEM rotors.
I swear by Bosch quietcast. I’ve done cheap brands before but seem to squeak, fade, or make too much dust.
Bosch brake pads are good for me in my performance pack.
$500 for a wheel alignment and new Bosch pads on all 4 wheels. Car is a 2010 Cruze.
Brembo or Akebono. Makalat sa brake dust yung Bendix at marami rin fake.
Nissin, akebono, brembo maganda. Pag budget friendly LKC or Hi-Q pwede na. Pass sa bendix
Had the same experience about the brake pads. Since pudpod na, i asked my brother to buy one kasi i dont know where to buy and it has to be replaced asap. My brother bought a fake bendix. Noise started several months after. As in nakakahiya yung tunog kasi bakal to bakal.
