That's about 4x the cost of acdelco replacement parts. I sure hope they are worth it too you. I'll be waiting for your report.

Yeah me too Ghost. I always wanted to know if the high end stuff made a difference so here I go giving them a try.

FYI, there are three grades of AC Delco replacement brake parts - el cheapos - stay away. Middle grade is what you see when GM advertises a $99 brake job and they are decent though a step below what the truck came with. They are what I run. The top of the line ones are more money and are equal to what came installed.

FWIW, Reloader had EBC Green Stuff on the rear and could never get them to stop squealing. They were also nearly worn out around 20,000 miles. He's back to OEM, the middle grade.

Zero complaints with my Power Stop stuff. Not a single squeak, great pedal feel, and it stops great. I drove my Alpha for work yesterday and I did a lot of stop n go driving (I normally drive it on trips or just around town). I kept thinking to myself dang it stops so good vs my wifes with apparently the cheapest of the cheapest pads on it. Her's squeaks when cold and it drives me nuts. I wanna change the pads or just wait and slap the same Power Stop setup on hers!

I tried some EBC Green Stuff pads on my 03 Land Rover Discovery Series II, and I was completely disappointed after all the hype!! Tons of dark thick brake dust (it did just fall off, but omg did it look bad!) and they were done in around 22-24k. I went back to the OEM pads after that for much less $$$ less brake dust, and same performance.

500 mile update :
EBC Rotors and Greenstuff pads are very grippy, smooth and quiet. Only con so far is a light amount of dust. Worth the extra money? Unsure at this time.

Good to hear. Hope they stay quiet! Maybe it's a better pairing with rotors AND pads by EBC, vs. OEM rotors and EBC pads that caused a lot of noise on Reloader's H3.

Yeah on my Rover with OEM Rotors/EBC brake pads I had a lovely low speed brake squeal and a good amount of thick black brake dust (it did come off easy). On my Alpha with the Power Stop setup I've got 6k on it already. Zero issues, no brake dust (more road grime vs brake dust), not a single sound out of them, and the brake performance is great with a good pedal feel, and no brake fade. I'll be installing the same setup on my wife's squeaker toy of an H3 soon.

Update the dust has stopped. Been a week from breakin clean up. 0 dust now. Breaks still feel great, but so does OEM in good shape so the real question will be how long will they last and will the rotors hold up through a Michigan winter
