Brake pads OEM Hyundai or Duralast
Reviews
I have a 21' Hyundai Accent which was basically the sedan version of the Venue before the Accent got axed. I live in the NE so I've encountered plenty of road salt as well as coastal salt/driving through minor coastal flooding. My car has basically zero rust underneath. I wash it immediately (within 24 hours) of driving through coastal flooding or winter treated roads, or as soon as temps go above freezing. Shit, I've got 80k on this car on the original brake pads and there's NO rust on the rotors or calipers, which to me is an unexpected surprise for someone who drives in corrosive conditions.
Pros: no rust, original pads
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
Mileage: 80000 km
On the other hand, all I did to it was change oil, brake pads, tires and spark plugs. Ran all the time, snow, sun, rain. Drove it everywhere. Put loads of miles on it.
Pros: ran all the time
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
Since purchasing in summer of 24 have replaced the battery and both back and front brakes. Also very strict with oil changes. Loving everything about it.
Pros: loving everything
Vehicle:
Hyundai
Mileage: 48000 km
I have a 2013 Hyundai accent glass. But it works and no serious issues. Just the common brakes and tires. Great on gas. Has some pep. And fits 5 people easily. Big trunk space.
Pros: Great on gas, fits people
Cons: Audio sucks
Vehicle:
Hyundai Accent
I have a 2020 Hyundai Santa Fe with 30,000 and still has the original pads and aren't worn out yet.
Pros: original pads, not worn
Vehicle:
Hyundai Santa Fe
Mileage: 30000 km
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.
Pros: Quality seems good
Cons: tabs sometimes too big
2016 fiesta st. Duralast Gold (DG886) PADS
Vehicle:
Ford Fiesta
Part number: DG886
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.
Pros: better than sawdust pads
Cons: won't be the best
Avoid duralast cause their pads don’t have good bite or good overall braking power. And sometimes they don’t fit.
Cons: no good bite, bad power
only thing I hate about it are the brakes, but it's a hyundai thing, the brake pedal travel is too low
Cons: low pedal travel
Vehicle:
Hyundai
