Parentnoia Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 My question is this: what kind of brake pads should I get for a 99 GMC Suburban? Last time I picked up brake pads for my Escort, they asked if I wanted ceramic or no and I was wondering what the difference is and what would be best. I dont have a heavy system (or a system at all) yet, but I will be hauling a lot of stuff in the coming months as we move to a new house (as well of tow a car). Also, it's the stock calipers, if that helps. Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet. Look at "hate" spelled backwards. It spells "e-tah." For example, if you hate me you can e-tah dick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gaitan1977 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 for the most part ceramic helps with brake dust and probable last a bit longer. i don't think you will notice a difference in stoping power. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I'll see an increase no matter what. I checked my pads today and they're practically non-existent. Bought the truck used a month ago and just now have to funds to worry about stuff.

Parentnoia Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 So I should just get the cheapest brake pads I can find and call it done? Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet.

Rebel4055 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I just did the brakes on my truck. Had the rotors turned and used BrakeBest from oreillys. Works great. Quote Rest In Peace mother.

Parentnoia Posted May 18, 2012 Author Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 I was going to go to OReilly's actually. Also, my mechanic buddy told me to check the wheel bearing as well, should I re-pack them or just get all new bearings? Quote 1999 GMC Suburban SLTNo system planned just yet.

gaitan1977 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 make sure your disc are good and not all scared up or warped you might need to get them turned. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rebel4055 Posted May 18, 2012 Report Share Posted May 18, 2012 (edited) Spin em. If you don't hear any odd noises or hang ups I would leave them alone for now. I actually have to change mine out. Audible clicking. Pisses me off. Only noticed it with the rotors off though. And there ain't no might. Get them turned. Lol Edited May 18, 2012 by Rebel4055 Quote Rest In Peace mother.
