I have to replace my front brakes soon. Can anyone suggest a good brand of brake pads for my 03 eco cav? I dont wanna pay for GM brakes, since they suck. Basically looking for brakes that are a better then stock for a good price
Thanks

sweet... after i cross drill my brake lines... ill be sure to slot them
ceramic brakes....dont they warp easily?
powerslot rotors and EBC green stuff pads. the green stuff pads are a bit hard on rotors, so get some good ones. However they do have great fade resisiance, and they bite hard even when cold. i had hawk pads, but i did think they were any better than stock.
unforntunately now im riding on normal pads and rotors...i let my pads go a little too long and the passenger side got into the rotor pretty good, so i had to take what was available local. next spring i think im gonna get a new set of powerslots and green stuff pads.

Why not get some quality pads from your nearest autoparts store with a lifetime warranty? Free pads for as long as you own your car!
It's something to consider, especially when you have slotted/drilled rotors that will cut your pad life in half.

HE SAID HE WANTED SOMETHING BETTER , NOT SOMETHING CHEAPER.
you wont get good brakes for a cheap price
I run hawks with powerslot rotors (powerslot actually recommends hawk pads) and alot of people like EBC also
Organic pads are not recommended because they produce a LOT of brake dust, fade fast, and wear fast. Most manufacturers recommend you use ceramic pads, because the stock pads are typically ceramic.

Who does not recommend them?? look at powerslots web site.
Youre grouping all organic pads into one category???thats absurd. tell me how many people race with the stock ceramic pads because they are better.

AND I SAID GET SLOTTED ROTORS AND LIFETIME PADS. MORE EXPENSIVE PADS DON'T DO ANYTHING FOR DISSIPATING HEAT.

Besides, you can get better than stock pads with lifetime warranty, I never said go cheaper.
