Aftermarket Brake Pads
Hi guys,
Do any of you have a go-to for aftermarket pads or should I just pay the extra and go oem? Just looking to grab some rears to put on this weekend.
Cheers,
-James

someone else makes OEM.
Go to FCP euro or pelican parts and see what is on sale.
Rock auto also has good selection.
Check them rotors first as you may need new ones.
Also when done perform proper pad break in procedure (EBC brakes has good explanation on their support website)

Rotors are in surprisingly good shape compared to the pads. Or pad rather. Sliders must be a bit seized on the passenger side.

I have PowerStop on my car (their full Z32 pad and rotor kit). Honestly I regret it. The Powerstop rotors are really nice, but their pads are kinda garbage. Tons of dust and noticeable decrease in initial bite versus stock.
My wife have Akebono Euros on her car (with powerstop geomet rotors). Very nice pads, low dust, less squeal than the Benz pads, and no break in (Akebono explicitly states there is no break in needed for the Euro pads).
