Review on Enhance Your Vehicle's Performance with GM Genuine Parts 171-1007 Front Disc Brake Pad Set and Clips by John Fuentes

Revainrating 5 out of 5

With results like this, you can't argue with OEM quality. The rotors showed only slight wear, but .

After driving 88,900 miles on my 2013 Silverado 1500 LT I thought I might put on new brakes (still the originals). I have never owned a truck that has driven so many miles on one set of brakes. With results like this, you can't argue with OEM quality. The rotors showed little wear, but I replaced them anyway. These pads fit well and are obviously of high quality. The hardest part was removing the caliper bolts. I ended up breaking the jack (master) so I drove into town and got a 1/2 drive 18mm shock sock. Using a percussion gun and only held onto the bolts for 40-60 seconds they FINALLY started spinning, once the connection was broken they came out fine. I don't know what the heck Chevrolet uses for the threads, but I bet they're tight! Be prepared and have a percussion head and percussion gun or a long extension on the jackhammer shaft. It will also make work easier if you turn the wheels all the way to the left when working on the right-hand side and all the way to the right when working on the left-hand side. Truck (if you're like me you only have one when you get off the ground, so spin the wheels before you lift the wheel so the jack's position isn't disturbed by the movement of the car when you turn the wheels after turn the jack. I hope I get that. Here is a picture of the new pad versus the 88,900 mile pad.

Pros
  • Lots of good vibes
Cons
  • No power
