changed my OG set at 120k currently just under 140k.
I have a 2016 ST3, 114k miles, OEM brakes at 6mm or so, I mostly do highway.
Been doing some research and debate myself. Come to the conclusion I would stick New Edge brakes in there. V6 and GT got the same brake package, and it's pretty robust, easy to find, and cheap. Remember it's designed for a 3000+ lb car and you're going to a 2400 lb car, so it's already overbraked, and being light it'll be easy on its consumables.
I was on the hunt for a facelift LT1 car and specifically went after a 95 for the stock bigger brakes and a few other things. I am extremely happy with my purchase and highly recommend.
The brake rotors from the Grand Cherokee and Caprice are nearly the same measurements though so I can mix and match. The bonus is that because of the 1996 Impala SS you can get performance brake pads for the Caprice calipers.
I have a 2021 BS BL with 28,000 and have no issue with the water pump. The squeaky brakes in reverse drives me nuts though!
Focus ST: Con -Using brakes to offset torque steer a bit lame. And contributes to crazy brake dust
Back in September 2024, I bought two Chevy Equinox EV 2025s — one for me and one for my wife. Both vehicles have less than 10,000 miles on them. And guess what? Both are already having the exact same issue: the brakes make a horrible squealing noise every time you press the pedal, and when you go in reverse the sound is absolutely unbearable.
I’ve taken both SUVs to the dealer twice already. Each time I had to pay $35 for a brake inspection, and both times they told me “everything was fine.” Now, on the third visit, they suddenly tell me the brake pads need to be replaced, and it’s going to cost $498 PER VEHICLE. That’s nearly $1,000 out of my pocket for what I strongly believe is a manufacturing defect.
Here’s what frustrates me the most:
• Both vehicles are covered under the extended warranty, but the dealer says brakes are “not included.”
• They claim the warranty only covers the battery and motors.
• How is it possible that two brand-new vehicles, same model, same mileage, bought at the same time, have the same brake problem, and it’s NOT considered a factory defect?
This makes zero sense. Honestly, I feel scammed. I trusted Chevy, bought two brand-new EVs, and in less than a year they’re already trying to squeeze almost a grand out of me for something that should not be happening.
2022 Atlas SEL is fhe Worst automobile ive ever had (as an adult). Brakes are horrendous and seems ive had more service issues than i’ve ever had to deal with owning Ford, Chevrolet, Toyota.
We had a red one when I was a kid. Red with black interior. We put some 90s appropriate chrome wheels on it. Tons of good memories cruising around in that thing. I thought it looked so good, but it had the smaller V6 so it was dog slow and the brakes were terrible.
