Which front pads? - Camaro5 Chevy Camaro Forum / Camaro ZL1, SS and V6 Forums

LasVegasSS · 08-15-2017, 01:13 PM

Hi guys. I hope you can help. I have a 2013 2SS with the automatic. Every time I go to buy front pads, I play hell finding the correct ones. O'reilly, Pep Boys, Auto Zone all have pads in stock, but they don't look like mine. They are a lot bigger. Mine has Brembo brakes, but the only place I can seem to find them is the dealership and they're $220 a set! Why are there 2 styles of brakes on the SS and anyone know of a cheaper place that has good quality pads? I went to order them online but I don't know how to specify which size pads that I have.

Any help is appreciated.

I just checked AutoZone online and had no issue finding direct fit pads. DG1474 for Duralast Gold $80.

Good pads aren't cheap. OEM on Amazon is about 170 for front, 80 for rear. Just ordered rears today and some DOT4. Time for a brake flush.

For daily driving I'd go with hawk performance ceramic pads, they cut down brake dust dramatically and are quiet. Stopping power is great too. Not like oem, but good enough for daily driving. These pads have no roller-skates on, which is a huge plus. I got mine on amazon great price too. just like the link above posted by silverbullet415.
