Yeah we don't have any pads that offer lifetime warranty anymore. Midas shops offer it, but then you pay for install + their pricing + whatever install when you claim warranty. I've used the Wagner TQ with success in the past and would use them again, but if the OE replacement is good too and cheaper, why not.

Am I the only one imagining the teacher getting gang banged by all of us?

TacoBello

Yeah, I was gonna ask why not go with the thermoquiets. I just installed them on wifey' Sonata and I don't have anything bad to say about them. Aren't they only like $10 more than the cheaper ones?

Stick with what you know works...otherwise, you'll be the guy warning us about the sh*tty cheapest pads.

polobunny

Can't seem to source the TQs locally right now. Not sure why.

The OE replacement are $40 front and $35 back (+ sales taxes) and I'd like to do them Saturday morning so they have to be local haha

polobunny

Hey lessons be learned that way no?

Get an aftermarket ceramic pad with low wear and dust. :pb:

Wagner OE replacement is ceramic it says, hence my questioning if anyone used them before. Still got to call 1 shop around here to check what they have anyway.

Well that took an unexpected turn.

Majofo

Some of these so called ceramic pads are really a classic compound marketed otherwise. I will say the OE pads on the TL were dusty AF. Not sure if they were Wagners.

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

I used Wagner.

Majofo

how used?

polobunny

Not sure what the current pads are but they're not too dusty (likely not OE).
Guess if it's really a straight "OE like" replacement I'd rather go for something trusted than have dusting issues.

Called some place and I can get some Raybestos for $65 & $51. $40 difference over Wagner OE supposed ceramic and I know it won't be shit, so I'll just go with that if I can't find a better deal. Still sucks I can't find the Wagner TQ anywhere, they're usually good and everywhere.

Majofo

I will say the cmax pads have held up very well on both the TL and X. I think everyone was skeptical at first because it's from autozone. Some are still skeptical but they've been great in my book. X is due for pad change, still life in them, maybe 10-20k miles. They've been on for 80k miles. Very little dust and good brake feel and stopping force.

Majofo

Just look up the pads you're interested in buying PB. I'm sure there's bound to be many reviews. You probably can't go wrong.

cmax's has held up better than stock Kia sportage pad.

i changed stock kia pad at 15k
cmax is at 20k and still has tons of life left.

Very.

polobunny

You guys have a lot of good choices, we're a bit more limited here it seems. Wagner used to be everywhere, can't find them except the OE equivalent. There's no name crap then there's the expensive racecar options. I'm just looking for a simple ceramic that won't cost an arm and a leg. Got some quotes for $120 pads... err no.

Rotors aren't an issue though, I can find standard plain ones for $60 ea front and $35 ea rear. Truth be told the front brakes are still good for a decent time and I could keep the rotors in the front (back have to go) but if I'm changing the old rusty rotors in the back I won't be able to look at the front ones and not want to change them.....

Buy new car

Thinking about it. G35?

Majofo

G35 as long as it's the revised engine.. +07

Flipster23

That's how lazy mericans do it.

Buy 2012 car brand new, tires are now bad go buy 2016.

I had a friend who had a friend who did that. Small repairs they would fix. Anything over $700 they would trade it in.

Majofo

My coworker's sister did that her whole life.. new car every 2-3 years. She's 60 and has nothing saved. Sad.

polobunny

Agree. Such a big difference between earlier and 07+.

not even expensive. How do they enjoy having payments + losing value on all their purchases?

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

I'm counting down the day I pay the Accord off. Should be within 2 weeks. I can do it now, but I'm waiting until I close..

Even though I mention buying new cars, my dumbass won't do it. Toss the idea around, think about it, then I be like "Yeah, nah......"

polobunny

Hey that's quick paying. Good job on that

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

Poor saps. I have a friend who buys "nice" cars, and lives in an apartment. I ask if he is going to buy a house. "No, stupid investment" the fuck.... Slap yourself.

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

Yeah, I've never paid off an actual car. I heard it's a good feeling. LOL

polobunny

'cause a car is an investment, right?

I almost always paid my cars cash, so not sure about the new car paid feeling.

I can't believe you can pay cars on 84 months now. 7 years of payments.... what the fuck.

Flipster23

iTrader: (15)

I want to buy a Civic I mean ILX.....


Can't really afford the overpriced civic. Oh we can do 84 months, your payments will be $450 a month.


:deal:







Dumbass..

Sign me up for 20 years!

Like paying a freaking house.

Majofo

buy V

polobunny

I wish. Fucking douche with the XLR at the gym is forcing me to look at a caddy a day out of two... And the V is so much of what I like. The only downside being the price.

Yumcha

Well, hang on...I'm as Canuckian as Tom Brady is an honest QB who didn't cheat.

So, let's be clear. It went downhill when the robots arrived. Don't lump me with the Syrup Drinkers. They're innocent and generally bitter at having to pay out of their @$$es and gonads in taxes.

Majofo

It's also 2+ tons and devours tires and fuel.
It's not all cream and jelly..

polobunny

It's easy to save on gas, or at least that's what I tell myself. But then I realize it's easy when you have an underpowered 4 banger but as soon as you get in a decent v6 or a v8 well woops I'm going wot at every other occasion...

Part of the price though, I can't spend that sort of money and tell myself it makes sense.
