G70 aftermarket brake pads

[joschneider]

I'm getting the dreaded pulsating at freeway speeds again. I gave in and ordered the G-LOC GS1 front and rear pads (their high performance street compound). Got my fingers crossed that it will solve the uneven compound distribution on the rotors.

$341.00 shipped for both front and rear. I'll post my findings (won't be for a couple weeks, though).

I was about to ask why you didnt go the route of the tsb and euro spec pads but then remembered how you got screwed on your warranty

$341 for brake pads?!?!?!
Omg!

Yeah, it's crazy. I had to pay $400 for just the front factory HP/Euro pads!! Way too much, but there's not many choices yet.

So on a side note, I did the service bulletin and they replaced both the pads and rotors at 5k miles, I am at 7500 now and its doing it again. I am not sure the TSB will fix the issue.

Has anyone found any reasonable $100ish brake pads?

Ah looks like you can finally order them directly from brembo.

I guess the question is... Are these factory pads or aftermarket brembos?

The website that Todd mentioned some time ago has lots of front pad options at reasonable prices for the Stinger GT with Brembos. Should fit?

So if we don’t have pulsating brakes, is it just a matter of time? Is the issue only with OEM pads or are rotors warping some? Only asking Incase there is something preventative I can do before this issue comes up? I’m used to paying maybe $60 to $75 per axel for pads. Over $300 for pads, not something I would have expected.

Well, keep in mind the $341 shipped is for both, front and back pads. KNS, along with other places, have many options for front pads, plenty of which are less than $100 for a set!

Part of the reason I'm getting these over the Euro spec pads is first, they cost less, and second, they are more aggressive.

Here is a set I'd get if I were only replacing the fronts...

Very inexpensive.

Problem is there are not many options for rear pads. Only 3 that I know of... G-Loc, OEM Euro spec, and Centric (posi-quiet ceramics, not their metallic formula). Personally I prefer replacing both front and back pads at the same time, and I like to stick with the same compound.

Where did you end up buying from?

Edit: NVM... Apparently I just had to scroll down.

Received my G-LOC brake pads (front and rear). Planning to install them tomorrow. I'll make a new thread with my thoughts after I get to play around when them a little bit (assuming they fit!)

Did they come with brake hardware as well? (The little metal/clip like things). When I had my Mazda, that was rare, and only Autozone included hardware with pads.

Nope, just the pads.

Did you install these yourself or were you able to get a shop to do the labor?

Brembo Brake pad replacement + thoughts on G-LOC GS-1 pads

Finally had some time to swap out my brake pads. I ordered a set of G-LOC pads from KNS Brakes for the 3.3 Brembo equipped Stinger. Since both the G70 and Stinger share the exact same calipers and rotors, we are able to use any Stinger pad for the G70. Here are how the new GS-1 pads look...

I pretty much always do my own work.

^ +1. pad replacement is about as easy a job as they come. removing the wheel is almost the hardest part.

That's the beauty of multi-piston big caliper setups like these - pads go in and out no sweat!

Wait Todd didn't you just replace your pads? Replacing them again with different pads?

This is the first time I've replaced the pads on my G70.

Looks like Hawk is now making both front and rear pads for our cars!



Specifically....
- Performance Ceramics
- HPS 5.0
- HP Plus

Nice. Wouldn't mind getting a set of HP+'s, I had those on my previous autocross car and I really liked them.
