This forum hasn't seen many gen9 owners installing new brake pads yet. Certainly no owners installing aftermarket pads then driving another 100k to see if they last longer than the OE ACDelco pads. I have just under 100k on my 2016 and still have the original ACDelco pads front and rear and no symptoms of rotor warp/distortion at all. Do you have access to OE pads? If not, what brands do you have access to?

I had an itch to get my LT tuned and slap on a larger rotor and upgraded pads but after reevaluating some life choices, I remained with my vehicle as it is while I swapped out the OEM pads with ACDelco 84206102 (front). They are great for spirited driving if that's what you're wondering! :rolleyes:

Brake motive crossed drilled slotted rotors with ceramic brake pads front and rear. Work very nice look nice. I’m currently trying to get a set of front ebc red stuff pads I have the rears.

Many performance pads are dust generators. Low dust claims mean dust, not no dust.
I've tried many and for me the longer my wheels stay clean the happier I am. I'm not auto crossing my vehicles so these pads are not worth it for street driving.
Brand name ceramic pads are more than adequate for the street.
I've had good wear with Raybestos and Wagner ceramic pads.

Check online for reviews. I've never used Bosch pads.

In generally I am using only acdelco or gm genuine parts, but in that case there is so many brake pads, few from gm geniune and another part from acdelco that why I am so confused. Can you help me? Which one to choose
I mean rockauto.com

I am not a brake pad expert. I bought pads and rotors from Rock Auto and they work fine. I have little or no dust, but I'd like more braking power. I've considered swapping in some Buick dual-piston calipers but have enough other projects demanding my time and money that those will have to continue to wait.

Established brand names like Raybestos or Wagner will do you no wrong.
