Brake pads STOPTECH or OEM Chevrolet
I got Stoptech Sport pads that I've used on track and street for many years.
I run StopTech Sport pads on my E92 M3 and they hold up very well for a dual duty pad. I prefer them over the other options listed.
Almost never, this is a picture of my front driver brake pads after 80,000mi. They are above 90% 2017 Bolt.
Put 306k miles in 13 years, on my brand new '07 Silverado 1/2 Ton before I sold it to a mechanic at my preferred shop (leak in the fuel system/tank that was going to require removing the bed etc).\n\nPrior to that issue, I never had a single thing go wrong with it. Tires, brake pads (original set lasted 200k miles), oil/tranny fluid changes, air filters, wiper blades, were all it ever needed.
The StopTechs Sports are the better track and street option, I used the front pads in my E46 M3 for 10k+ street miles and a few trackdays. They have good feel and modulation. Just had a little bit of fade towards the end of a 25 minute session.
I’ve been happy with my StopTech Sport pads.
I had to replace my Bolt's pads because of using the friction brakes so little due to one-pedal driving, they rusted out. It's actually important to make a point of using your friction brakes every now and then.
There was a noticable increase in stopping power, but it came with a significant increase in brake dust. They also started squealing recently. I recently checked the pad life and it's been okay. So far I've put 10k on em, and I'm estimating that 1/3 to 1/2 of their life has been used
My breaks were squeaking with less than 5000 miles. Bad and embarrassing squeaking.
I have about 1k miles on my 25 Equinox EV and the brakes have started doing this. It’s horrendous backing out of my driveway and at drive thru’s. Sounds like I’m driving an old beat up car that I haven’t maintained.
