I've used duralast (gold) brakes on every car I've owned. Never had a problem. Only issue was the tabs on a few pads have been too big and I needed to file down 1/16" or so to make them seat smoothly in the slots. Quality seems good to me.
2016 fiesta st. Duralast Gold (DG886) PADS
powerstop is good but honestly i always suggest duralast golds they're good and the warranty is good
My last set lasted me 60k miles before I could hear it was time to change. Those were the basic ones
Duralast gold ceramic. No issues at all
Duralast Gold pads are awesome at little to no brake dust
For years I ran Pagid Black on the fronts and Pagid Yellow on the rear.
They currently have sales on their duralast branded ones and even hand bundle sales. Duralast won’t be the best, but guarantee it’s better than those sawdust with grey spray can paint pads.
Everyone in Aviation has switched to Duralast brayke pads, it seems... They should have stayed with Akebono.
Avoid duralast cause their pads don’t have good bite or good overall braking power. And sometimes they don’t fit.
