Can you make a list on brake pads from what you recommend to what you could not buy
I added the ceramic Akebonos to a Grand Marquis. The brakes are so incredibly smooth now. Thanks Scotty!
H-Town Texas N the House 🤠, Knocking at ur back Door 😎, Thank U Teacher 4 the Information 👍.
Bought a used S Class put on Zimmerman rotors and Akebono pads quiet and limited brake dust!
Akebono
I use Callahan Brake pads. Tommy Callahan traveled all over the USA selling these amazing products.
Those other companies sell you a guarantee. But what they really sell you is a guaranteed piece of sh!t.😂
Love that movie!
Watch out for Deer 😂
I hear a lot of CEO’s lost their desk top toys !
Makes me want some chocolate pudding 😂
LMAO 😂😂😂
Agree with Scotty on the Akebono pads. They are super quiet!
My partner and mech said just the opposite...said he almost got into an accident with his Akebono fail...coming off the interstate...I like Red Stuff and Yellow Stuff pads...Best in my experience....
@@echanlynneighbors-richmond794installation issues most likely. Used them on over forty vehicles with no "failure".
@@greendotscott5038 We have MBZ vehicles, and he's been in the profession over two decades, and my partner indicated he wouldn't install them on another vehicle with high horsepower. I dunno, I just know how to fuel a vehicle, and drive fast as I reasonably can. LoL...😃😎
Where do you buy those??
@@echanlynneighbors-richmond794who makes those? The best ones I've used are hawk hps
I love my KEVLAR brakes. LOW rotor wear. Progressive braking. It just grips harder and harder.....without pushing the break pedal harder. Lasts a LONG TIME !
I use Akebono and they work fine. No noise.
On Scotty's recommendation I got them as well even though I had to import them from the US (to the UK). Changed the discs (rotors) at the same time to Brembos. No squeaking, no dust, no change in stopping power from what was on there before, as far as I can feel.
I used to hear squeaking coming from the rear. Turned out if was my mother in law. Had to divorce my wife. To get rid of the squeaking. 🙂👍
You got rid of your wife but did you keep the mother in law??
@@johnmacdonald-bb2zj
😂 Both
Hilarious! 🤣
you gotta get those ceramic mother in law's, so much better
💀💀💀💀
I had cabon ceramic brakes installed on my 2019 Subaru Impreza and I love them! They don't discharge black brake dust, and they don't squeek. Plus, they don't fade when they get hot.
Do they stop normal cold, though? I never thought they were ideal on a daily.
@@cobrajeff96That's really the issue with ceramics, they don't stop well until they're hot
It's not a huge issue in something light, but I bet in something like a Subaru its really noticeable
@@LadyMistborn Unfortunately not gonna work for my 2004 Jaguar, she's a big girl.. over 2 tons 😂 probably going with Hawks
There’s no way you have carbon ceramics in an Impreza. Those cost on average 10k per set
@noah8260 Well, I bought them on ebay for cheaps. I have about 57,000 miles on them.
You are absolutely right, Scotty.
Had a neighbor tell me as you say.
He is a "retired" Ace Mechanic. Probably learned from your dad and grandfather.
He still repairs cars.😊
Akebonos are expensive tho you’ll be fine with duralast gold or duralast elite
It’s his hand waving for me ❤
Akebono ASPs on my '16 Challenger, great stopping power, silent & almost zero dust.
I've always used the goop for the purpose, on the back side. Supposedly damps out the squeek.
I got Detroit Axle because they were cheaper and came with a 10 year warranty, plus I always try to support more local businesses
Detroit Axle Here! Along with the drilled and slotted rotors
Are they made in the USA? Are there any good so far?
Bro said “local businesses”💀 those are made in china bruh
@@2beontopthey’re made in china, it’s more of a budget option. They work well but make alot of noise and my wheels are constantly filled with dust
Way to go Scotty, we use these up here in Canada all the time.
Based on recommendation, I bought a set and it works great no issues for past year
Akebono is the OEM brake pad for many manufacturers.
Textar, Bosch, and ATE. Never had any issues, copper grease the sliding contact points on the carrier, all good.
I use akebono ceramic as well. Best brake pads I ever had for the prices. Slammed on the brakes from 125-0 and they didn’t leave any dust or make a sound
What if you like squeaky brakes? Which race pads to buy
The ones made out of nails for better effect use with rotors made out of chalkboard
Rotors are pretty cheap and easy to replace
Lightly radius the leading and trailing edges of the pad with a needle file as you would with brake shoes. Works a treat!
Took your advice and have been using them ever since. Good stuff
Wish my neighborhood mechanic was like you
My personal favorite is the carbon metallic pads from PFC, formerly Performance Friction. Thats what I'm looking for next time I'm doing a brake job.
Great for small cars and SUVs but I don't recommend them for big trucks if your going to be hauling trailers ceramic pads don't allow heat to transfer away from the rotors as well as semi metallics and they end up warping before your pads wear out! Happened a few times to my boss before we figured out that's what was happening!
True. Get them for sports cars with drilled and slotted rotors. The holes will help with the heat transfer.
How exactly do ceramics affect rotor cooling?
They have slots through the middle for cooling specifically so the heat doesn't go into the caliper/fluid
Also semi metallics leave tons of residue and metal dust which would actually reduce rotor cooling
Brake noise has very little to do with the pad itself.
The main factors are almost always the way they are installed.
Most workshops will use copper grease on the back of the pads rather than a thin synthetic substance Ceratec. The grease causes your uneven surface , vibration and squeal !
The other two classic mistakes are not cleaning the hubs down properly when replacing discs/rotors which again creates an even surface and noise !
The last is not replacing the shims etc when you change the pads. Some cheap pads don’t come with them so people use the old ones and because they are worn the pads move and you get noise !
Visited hundreds of workshops that have complained about brake noise from a product, train them around these three steps and the complaints stop.
Even really good, experienced workshops I’ve visited can miss one of the three areas I’ve mentioned.
Akebono are used stock by Mercedes,at least on my w203 sport pack. Very high quality!
Akebono or OEM's for quiet street use. Also have had good results with Wagner Thermoquiet and Bosch QuietCast.
I use TRW brake pads in my car. Made in Germany. I installed Australian made rotors Protex.
Buy Hawk HPS street pads. Low dust, progressive stop and outstanding pedal feel Yes they are expensive but worth it.
Use Ginuwine Toyota pads with the proper shim kit and you won’t have a problem
@user-iu1rn3he2e Ride my pony
I have drilled front rotors, and am about to switch to trw street pads. And I’m also going to switch my back brake rotors and pads too. Well see how it goes
Can confirm: ceramic pads are nice! I put some on my daily driver back in 2017 (currently 2023) and they're still working great! No squeaking, no shaking; just smooth breaking 😎
You should still check them…
Yea learned this lesson years ago. You can actually get ceramic pads that aren't that much more but yea some are over double the price as semi metallic ones but we have more options now more than ever.
Toyota oem brake pads for me. Cant go wrong.
I love this guy. Saved me thousands!
I hope their pads are better than their rotors. I bought a set of 4 rotors for my Jeep Compass from 1a auto and had to warranty them out after a month cause they were warped. A few weeks later, the same issue. Payed the extra money for Brake Best Select at O'Reilly and put 80k on the rotors before trading vehicle in.
I use Aussie made Bendix in the Philippines. Better braking than the original nissan. I even use it on my mopeds but it ate the disc faster than the Nissan and Honda branded pads.
I purchased some EBC green stuff pads for my 01 4Runner. I love them good stopping power even when loaded. Good modulation but it creates a lot of brake dust tho
Been using Wagner TQ. Nice and quiet
Organic pads will save your Rotors, ceramic pads wear out the Rotors. Pads are easy to replace stay away from Ceramic pads unless you want to constantly change the rotors. My 2004 Acura MDX is still running the original Rotors, the Dealership warned me NOT to use Ceramic pads because they might last forever but they wear out the Rotors. They only recommend OEM pads which essentially are soft material. The Rotors have over 270000 miles on them and were barely under original thickness last time checked.
I learned that from researching for my Harley brakes
It dosent matter. You should be changing the pads any time you change the rotors anyway. I promise you if you get decent rotors they will outlast one set of pads
I would double check the measurements on that rotor... Buut problem with softer materials is brake fade or glassing. But it you aren't straining the brakes too bad, I guess it doesn't matter.... the good old "it depends" I'd imagine putting overspec brakes on a car might reduce wear.... IDK I am no expert
Are you sure about that, even organic pads won't make rotors last 270k
Plus they have awful stopping distances and tbh are hard to find
I need to replace my brake pads... Before I seen this video a while back I purchased some ceramic pads from O'Reilly I think their brake best will they hurt my rotors?
For a 2017 f150 XLT crew cab.2wD I purchased ceramic brake pads from O'Reilly's brake best brand.. the mechanic told me that they would damage my rotors if I put them on . He told me to get some out of metallic so I don't know
No matter what pads you get, you've gotta bed them in properly with a few hard stops and a few brake drags to heat em up, then cool em off by driving, then repeat the process.
What if you don't and like most folks just drive along normally?
Yes
Try " Kevlar Pads " they Last upto 8 Times as long
as regular " Organic Pads " !
This is so true. Those semi metallic brakes ate my rotors
Yeah I took this advice, got myself some Bendix pads and they are so much smoother and quiet
I love the formula one brake pads
100% agree, brakes, plus put on crappy pads out of my rotors and I had to buy new pads and rotors! SMH
Scotty tells the truth!
Have my akebono since 70k car now has 160k still pads aren’t completely worn and same rotors, worth the extra money you won’t have to change your brakes as much easier and I’m not always gentle on the brake
i use autozone duralast gold ceramic brake pads works fine for me.
Aki eko bono mono bruh if you use any reputable brand they work fine and don't just replace the rotor measure the thickness if good resurface them they will work good
Scotty how often should I change the brakes on my Tesla? Never! Thanks
I bought Akebono break pads for my CR-V last year and never regretted it (I also got Honda OEM rotors).
Honda rotors and pads last a long long time
@@ravenmoto5948 The prior owner (who is my work partner) recommended that I change the rotors (I changed the break pads because they started “squeaking”).
I buy second quality breaks or first quality from auto parts and dealer places . The dealer sells the better after market and cheep sometimes
The right fit kit helps. But if the pads are low the 'squealers' rub on the rotors to let you know. Like how your taillights are wired to your dash lights.
Maybe you should do a you tube video and explain the difference ceramic pads don’t work well until the heat up same with clutches
There's an Akebono factory just a few miles from my home here in Kentucky.
My ceramic pads on the rear were down to the steel on the inside and almost full thickness on the outside. And one wheel screeches alot.
I agree akebono brakes are good and quiet.
Eco bono brake pads Best 😊
Why not use break grease on the moving parts? Stops vibration squeaky
Your show is the best 👍👍👍👍👍
Just my luck, but my Akebono brake made a groove on one side of the rotor. 😢
If you use ceramic brake pads and regular rotors, you have a higher likelihood of warping the rotors from extra heat generated because ceramic doesn't absorb heat.
Thanks Scotty.
Don't ceramic brake pads have to be hot before they work well. So don't work as well if they are cold
Thank you Scotty
I would like to request if you could address a common garage repair scam where the mechanic doing a general maintenance inspection ,etc will inform the client “their brake pads are 50% worn out and highly suggests they change them”
2014 Mazda 3 has new front brakes and squeaks at low speeds and coming to stops. Everything new, slide pins new grease, lightly greased the hardware. Still does it!! Whats the deal!?
Be aware that ceramic brake pads do not have the braking power of metallic brake pads. If you pull a trailer or haul heavy loads just know that you will have to press the brake pedal much harder to achieve the desired effect.
Metallic pads ear rotors
Ceramic are much more resistant to brake fade though
Ceramic pads have a higher core heating and melting point this gives it better performance against fatigue. This is why cheap $19.99 pads fail becuse they literally melt off giving you less stopping power. This is why NASA and ROSCOSMOS use ceramic tiles for their shuttle re entry vehicles. You must be a troll.
That is true.@@FuttBuckerByMutt
@@EAMitch They do not certainly don't. You will never see a Corvette with the Z package with steel and carbon metallic pads never. He is a troll period.
(@maniacal s10)
I have delt with break pads for many yrs! front pads have a wear / metal sound indicator for when the pads wear down to this indicator you will here a high pitch sound ! pads now days probably built in (?) the harder the pads wear your rotors down /fast sooner and depends on how use use your breaks !
I tried ceramic and they are horrible in high speed fully loaded car emergency stops. They make less dust.
I went to semi metallic Hawk pads they made a fantastic difference in high speed fully loaded braking and they squeak when cold in low speed 15mph and less if the rotors are cool or cold.
Scotty is the best 👍🏼
I love the Scotty!!! Who else?!
Akebono also Made in USA usually or always not sure
In Romania we have a brake cleaning spray, we use it and it stops screeching.
I like Posi-quite brand ceramic brakes.
Thanks boss, I will write this down.
What about Hawke pads? I've seen the diesel forum guys mention them.
Akebono pro act and Brake Best select Pro!
Agreed
Akebono has much less dust too. Rumor is they an OE supplier
Raybestos E3 pads have saved my life twice. $35 rated HH vs. OEM $115 rated FG
So why are "anti-squeal" shims fitted in between the back of the pad and the caliper? Greasing these two mating surfaces can also eliminate brake squeal.
Hey Scotty
Tell me what the advantage is to have vented brake rotors?
What about using StopSqueek on the back of the pads?
Thanks for the advice Scotty. Ceramic pads. Acabono is that correct spelling?
Hello, Akebono
I use brembo no squeak
What about “Carbotech”, and Castrol SRF brake fluid?
Use Bendix if in Australia
It could be from brake dust build up too
I probably got around 200k miles on my Japanese ceramic pads and rotors. I went with the same for my current set.
Scotty can I use auto zone brakes they have lifetime warranty
I never had any squeaking problems with semi metallic pads.
Hey Scotty, is it safe to sand down and cleanup break rotors?
Scotty!! What do you think about a 2009 toyota tundra in excellent shape but has the 4.7 instead of the 5.7!?
Better to wear the rotar down with semi metallic pads then to super heat and warp the rotors with ceramic pads. Let the audience know your advice applies for passenger cars. Heavier vehicles or vehicles that haul a lot of weight should always use semi metallic.
Hey @Scotty what about rotors?
Thank you, Scotty!
Hahaha Dennis Hopper squawking about squeaky brakes..... thanks for the heads up
The loudest brakes I ever heard were ceramics on a Chrysler 300 on smooth old rotors. Resufaced the rotors and it was quiet.
Yep. Doesn't matter what kind of pads you use if you don't turn or replace the rotors. Just replacing pads leaves you with a high probability of brake noise, and Scotty should know that. I suspect he's getting kickbacks for endorsements.
You should resurface the rotors when you change your brakes anyways.
@@davidjr3769 Almost everyone replaces the rotors or just leave them alone. There was a time every shop had a brake lathe. Now a pair of rotors often cost less than the brake pads.
