Looking for front brake pads with lots of bite - dust and wear life not big priorities

LurkingLuke · Jun 10, 2024

2013 Yukon.

Is OEM the way to go? My front pads are at 25% life remaining. I want my new pads to stop me in a short distance. A search on this topic [here] led me to drilled and slotted rotors, which my daily driver definitely does not need, and in fact might even achieve the opposite of what I seek.

I just want grippy pads from cold. Anyone recommend a certain brand or model?

You can, the real question is do you want too? For me a brake change is pads and rotors, but I run my truck hard. Driving style is more like a rally truck then a normal driver.

for what it's worth I just had to take off a set of raybestos E3 pads, I left the rotors and switch to a pad with less bite. it was confusing my regen/ebcm setup. (it's a hybrid thing only) and went with Warren quiet pads with good results in oem like feel. but if you want good initial bite, might be worth a look.

to bad you aren't near San Antonio I'd give you these.

I believe that pads and rotors should be changed together to let the 2 components break in together. We're not talking about a lot of money here.

Darn Right !!! Joseph
change out the pads and rotors. They wear in to each other..
Doing a "pad slap" is NOT the way you'll ever get good braking, ever
