Unless you get new old stock, you’re never gonna get the same pads that these things head factory. The formulas for the aftermarket aren’t the same.
Akebono are hard to beat unless you want more performance. It’s all we will sell. we had the Brembo rep come by the shop and is trying to get us to start pushing Brembo on cars because Napa is going to start carrying them. I got a couple free sets of pads to put on my techs car and the shop owners dually so we’ll see how they last. I don’t have high hopes for them though. We will see. Might put a set on the limo too.
