    It’s about time for me to replace my brake pads in the front.

    What brake pads are you guys running?

    What brake shoes are you running in the rear?

    Just looking for a stock replacement. Not looking to upgrade caliper or nothing.

    OReilly Select ceramic - the more expensive of the two ceramics they offer. Lifetime warranty. Have them also on wife’s Lexus. And they are pretty good - no sqeaking and I cant tell difference from OEM.

    Front OEM pads lasted 70K miles and rear are still good at 100K. I see no reason why to change to anything other than OEM.

    Oem. I've ran all different pads on many vehicles. Oem are always the best. Just make sure you get the good oem pads not the cheaper alternatives they offer sometimes.

    Their "lifetime" warranty, well its a scam. It doesnt cover wear and tear , only defects. Just another marketing gimmick to bait the consumer.

    No but it's a good balance for long lasting pads.
