Review on DuraGo BR5347 Front Vented Brake by David Caldwell

Revainrating 2 out of 5

soft metal They eat up new brake pads.

Not OK. Never again. They were eaten up by a brand new set of Gold Series brake pads purchased from AutoZone. Went to change after hearing a screeching noise and thought he had drained the pads to metal only to find the pads were still over 50% thick and the slivers of semi-metal in the pads were shattering the surface of the rotors. After doing my research, I see others complaining about the cheap metal used by far too many "manufacturers" these days. I will stick to the parts counter at my local store so I have someone to turn to if this happens again.

Pros
  • Inductively hardened raceways: ensure vibration-free running and durability.
Cons
  • Not the best option.
