Hey all, what pads are you using on your non-brembo, 4 piston brakes? Looking to replace all of them soon, need suggestions! (Anything easy to purchase in Canada is a bonus!)

During the winter the rears were squealing but probably because of the cold, but now the front ones are also making a slight bit of noise at random times. The occasional squealing is making me think they are due for a change soonford's oem are indestructible for regular driving, I'm at 56k miles and no need for replacement yet, how do i know? i bought new pads and my current pads are pretty good still lol
Are you able to jack up the car yourself and pull the wheels to inspect pad life?During the winter the rears were squealing but probably because of the cold, but now the front ones are also making a slight bit of noise at random times.

Unfortunately no, I park in an underground lot and don't have access jacks. I had the brakes checked about a year and a half ago and the pads were 8mm in the front, 6mm in the back. Rotors were 31mm front and 25mm rear. I also drive mostly highways and don't brake too harsh. Would you think they would need to be replaced soon from that info?Are you able to jack up the car yourself and pull the wheels to inspect pad life?
mine does that too... that's why i bought the new pads, when i was going to change them, we noticed the original pads were in extremely good shapeDuring the winter the rears were squealing but probably because of the cold, but now the front ones are also making a slight bit of noise at random times.

I see, that's what I was thinking, which is why I asked.Unfortunately no, I park in an underground lot and don't have access jacks.

See if you can find a small inspection mirror, kind of like what dentists use except a little bigger (and probably with a telescoping handle). That and a flashlight ought to be enough to get a rough idea.Unfortunately no, I park in an underground lot and don't have access jacks.

Always nice to have backup. Any clue on what the part # is for the OEM 4 piston pads?mine does that too... that's why i bought the new pads, when i was going to change them, we noticed the original pads were in extremely good shape
i personally would try PFC brake pads in Z rate, better than stock pads, good for fast road and trackday use.Must be a pfc dealer in canada, worth a try in my opinion!.Hey all, what pads are you using on your non-brembo, 4 piston brakes?
