vs
Brake pads Centric or OEM Hyundai
Reviews
If my customers choose aftermarket, I always get
380mm centric high carbon rotors
Centric posi-quiet ceramic brakes.
The centric rotors are the absolute best bang for your buck.
I find paid results in comebacks, and oddly enough I get a lot of comebacks when I use brembo brake pads and rotors (they are 100% a different formulation than the land rover brembo OEM spec)
Pros: best bang for buck
Cons: comebacks
Vehicle:
Land Rover Range Rover Sport
Centric Premium is my preferred brand, I have used them for years and they don’t warp.
Pros: reliable, long lasting
I am just now contemplating a sad goodbye to my 2003 Elantra VLE. It needs a brake job but has become a rust bucket driving in harsh winter conditions, Ottawa, Montreal.
Pros: basic maintenance diligently done
Cons: rust bucket
Vehicle:
Hyundai Elantra
Been running “Centric Posi Quiet Ceramic Brake Pads” since 2020 and nearly zero dust.
Pros: nearly zero dust
Get a set of Centric PQ (posi-quiet) pads and rotors. Way better than any of the big chain brick and mortar store offerings for less $ too
Pros: better than chain store offerings
I bought that centric kit for my 18 Mazda 3 last year, no issues.
Pros: no issues
Vehicle:
Mazda 3
Centric Posi Quiet Ceramics & 120 Series rotors from Tire Rack. Though not a CX5, my Mazda6 is running at 60k miles on this set.
Pros: long lasting, quiet
Vehicle:
Mazda 6
Mileage: 60000 km
If you're looking for a solid set at a budget price, I've always had solid results from Centric and Power Stop brands on Rockauto. They're not high end by any means but they're cheaper than going OEM and they've always lasted at least 40,000+ miles. Also, if you go to Rockauto, do not be tempted by their economy category. The offerings in that section are very inexpensive but you absolutely get what you pay for. I went that route once out curiosity and the pads and rotors from the economy section were awful. Squealed and squeaked from day one and wore down insanely fast. Tried sound dampening sprays and re greasing. Never took the noise away.
Pros: long lasting, budget friendly
Cons: economy parts awful, noisy
Mileage: 40000 km
We got our top of the line 2015 Starex brand new when it was released in 2016. Still works, did have a lot of repairs. It used to travel to and from QC to Baguio in it's early days but now mainly within Metro Manila (QC to Las Pinas, QC to Manila). It's got a lot of mileage now and the suspensions and break pads need fixing on top of having electricals reworked (fuses of some functions had to be removed cause they were malfunctioning). Basically running po siya but needs a lot of work done.
Pros: still running
Cons: a lot of repairs
Vehicle:
Hyundai
I used to own a 2012 sonata and one day last year the brakes started acting extremely sensitive and would even to activate on their own (it would cancel out cruise control when my foot wasn’t touching the brakes) and would cause my car to feel like it was stalling out.
Cons: extremely sensitive, activate on own, car stalling
Vehicle:
Hyundai Sonata
