Need to replace my brake pads and having trouble finding which ones are decent.

Hi all,
I’m new. I have a 2019 Stinger GT. Just bought new wheels and went to check the brakes. I have Brembo brakes currently. Brembo are definitely higher in cost. What does everyone else use as a secondary choice?

Welcome. Just letting you know that I moved this topic out of the community lounge and into our Stinger Brakes section.

your go-to thread for all questions pads and rotors. FAQ: Vibration under braking: warped rotors? NO!

These have worked really well for me.

>$400/set happy? That seems like a big pile of money if they don't do an amazing job stopping AND last 50k miles...

Sure, why not? I've discovered that really good brake pads are easily worth the money given their importance. And of course driving style will determine which pad one should use - Reds are perfect for a more aggressive driver.

If you don't like the price, there are other choices available such as the Z26 which some people also like.
