I'm rebuilding my front calipers. On the GM Parts site the recommended pads are almost $700.00.. On the RockAuto site, compatible semi metal pads are $75.00. I just drive highway. Am I making a big mistake if I put on aftermarket pads on RockAuto aftermarket rotors? Thanks

$700 for all four wheels, or $700 for just the front set?

I used the r1concepts rotors and pads for about $500 and am very happy. Performance Brake Parts, Rotors, Pads, Kits: Custom & Aftermarket

@jbinghampton I too use the R1 Rotors, slotted, like mentioned above, with EBC Red Stuff and have been happy.

On President's day they had a 30% sale.

I also had some sort of discount. They have them frequently.

the trick used to be to buy the pads from Jeep because they were the same pads used on the CTSv but its hard to be beat $250

Are these the same Brake Pads as OEM Pads?

Was talking to a co-worker and he said that these stock Jeep SRT8 Pads are the same as the ones in our V's 2012-2015 Jeep SRT8 Front Brembo Brake Pads - Mopar # 68144427AB #68144427AB Does anyone know?

Why did you choose Red Stuff over Green Stuff?

 

[RobF300]

you think the caddy tax is bad look at the what im assuming is the GTR tax

Why did you choose Red Stuff over Green Stuff?

Green is newer.....I never saw the "green" when I did them.

Thanks, I'm asking because they position their EBC Ultimax 2 pads as an alternative to the OEM GM parts in this thread, but then steps up to Green and then Red.
