What brand of brake pads do you use?

[TerryMason]

I'm in the market for some new front brake pads. I've used EBC yellow stuff in the past and really liked them, but they are outside my price range this time. I've also used powerstop pads and rotors, and they seemed to work well.

What is your go to brand of pads?

Any thoughts on these (both ceramic):

Power Stop (Z23-477) Z23 Evolution Sport Brake Pads

Raybestos EHT477H BRAKE PAD SET

Whenever I've done brake work I've always relied on Raybestos but I'm sure there's many other opinions.

Ive been using brake performance ceramic. Not cheap.
They lasted some time. Use them on another daily driver and get average life.

Many use centric.

I always use Duralast [autozone] because of the lifetime warranty.

I used Centric rotors when I ran the EBC yellow pads and they were great (can you tell I had plenty of money before these kids came along?)

I'm going to go a bit budget this time around.

How can they do a lifetime warranty on brake pads? I was skeptical at first, but on their website you're right - lifetime warrenty

I'm willing to pay some for a better pad, looking for the $50 range. I'll probably end up with another powerstop, like the ones I'm running now. The power stops aren't as good as the EBCs that I ran before, but their pretty good overall.

They guarantee the pad does not sheer off the plate or the pad does not disintegrate or wear prematurely under normal operating conditions........ Yada yada yada

I tend to keep vehicles a long time and have never had any issues replacing brake pads under AutoZone's warranty. Just bring in the worn down pads and they replace them. Their computer keeps up with warranty so no need to have the receipt.
