    2014 1.8l LS Brakes are doing well at 71k. However I know they will need replacing soon. AutoZone has a ship to home deal and I can get rotors and metallic pads for dirt cheap now (links below). Also leaning to the semi since I'd rather change pads than rotors. Semi setup buy is ~$115 shipped...

    Has anyone been able to find performance brake pads for the 2017 LT RS Hatchback? EBC says it could be six months before they are available through them. We are going to play with BMW's at BIR in June and having only stock pads makes me nervous.

    After how many miles should I start looking at changing my brake pads? I have a 2011 Chevrolet Eco, and I always brake the car very mildly. I also shift into higher gear, and have the engine engine-brake at between 2-3k RPM to aid the braking process. I never go below 1750RPM or 2nd gear...

    I wasn't able to find a previous thread about this. so here goes. I've topped 200,000kms (125,000 miles) on my 2012 Cruze now and still have my original front brake pads and rotors. Unreal. In my 30 years of driving, I have never owned a car that came anywhere close that mileage mark and...

    Anybody else replace front pads? If so what brand did you go with? As of this weekend, I replaced mine a total of 3 times. First time bc they were hanging up and wore into my rotors and killed my MPG. Then after @ 10K I couldn't stand the pads I bought from Advance they were dusty and noisy...

    How-To: Replace Front Brake Pads & Rotors Overview: At some point in your Cruze ownership, your brake pads and rotors will need to be replaced. In my case, the rotors needed to be replaced before the pads due to uneven wear (note: rotors don't warp). This was the first job I did on the first...

    Hey guys, I'm getting a new set of tires put on this week and know I'm due for some maintenance on my brakes. If I wanted to upgrade from the factory pads etc, what would you recommend? I'm not feeling a big brake kit type of upgrade, just better pads and whatever else you can just bolt on...

    Just recently, I noticed my front brake pads are putting out a lot of dust. Kinda like the old semi metallic pads did. I just replaced them a couple of months ago and had the rotors turned. I am thinking I got a hold of crappy set of ceramics that are actually renamed semi metallic, FYI I...

    Ok I got all my parts and tools ready for changing pads. Planning to lube the caliper slide pins while I'm at it. My question is it necessary to lube the back of the pads before placing them back on the caliper?

    I'm trying to find another GM vehicle that uses the same pad shape. I would like to switch over to some Hawk HPS pads. They do not list any for the Cruze diesel. Does anyone have a recommendation for a more aggressive front pad that fits the cruze diesel?
